BUSK INFLUENCE ON BORKE

BERWICK newcomer Bastian Borke has revealed positive words from fellow countryman Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen influenced his decision to join.

Borke became the final signing for the Bandits in the Cab Direct Championship last week, and he says Busk Jakobsen spoke highly of the club having spent four seasons at Shielfield Park.

Said Borke: “I’ve known Busk since I was riding 85cc’s back home, around the time that he first joined Berwick, and he always had good things to say about everything to do with Bandits, the track, the management and supporters.

“I was able to see for myself that everything he told me was true when I rode there with Edinburgh last season.

“I understand I might not be joining the biggest club in British Speedway, but that family atmosphere is one that I’m looking forward to.

“I’ve only been to Shielfield Park once, but it was a good night and I know it is a track that I am going to enjoy racing on. It’s fast, has some good racing lines and really suits my style.”
