MFT: In Gear THE BIG FINALE Made For Trade’s very own motorcycle racer, Tommy Fielding, takes us through the final two race meetings of <strong>2021</strong>. The podium is within his reach, but can he make it..? Just like that, I am sat at my desk and the racing season is behind me. What a year it has been!
