LAMBERT BACK FOR SCORPIONS

SCUNTHORPE skipper Simon Lambert will be back to lead the Scorpions again in 2024.

Lambert enjoyed a super season this year culminating in the Championship KO Cup Final victory over Poole where he gave a stunning performance in the second leg at Wimborne Road.

Promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It was a total no-brainer to make our captain Simon Lambert the first name on our team sheet for 2024.

“The fans love him, because he gives 100 per cent in every race. Not only that, but he has ability to raise his game when we really need him to. We saw that in the Cup Final at Poole.

“He wants Scunthorpe to win trophies as badly as I do. The Cup was a great start, but I want to win more and I know Simon does too.

“He’s a good rider to have around the pits, encouraging the rest of the team – he is a very good captain. He is excellent value on his starting average – I know how much he wants to build upon last season and have an even better year in 2024.”
