PREVIEW: NICOLAI KLINDT TESTIMONIAL, KING’S LYNN

NICOLAI Klindt celebrates a UK career which dates back to 2008 when he stages his Testimonial Meeting at King’s Lynn on Sunday (3pm).

Klindt, who captained the Stars in recent seasons, has assembled a top line-up for what will be the first speedway meeting to take place in the UK this season.

New Lynn signing Max Fricke is one of a host of Grand Prix stars on show, with home fans also getting to see Jan Kvech, Chris Harris, Ben Cook and Jody Scott from their line-up for the upcoming campaign.

The meeting includes a 16-heat four team tournament, preceded by four two-minute practice sessions.  There will then be Individual last chance and Final races for the top scorers, along with a mechanics’ race during the interval and three outings for the 250cc Young Lions.

Klindt said: “I’m lucky enough to have created good relationships with a lot of riders, and I’m pretty sure that many more top riders would have liked to race in my meeting.

“I’ve been very, very fortunate with the support that I’ve had, and also some businesses and companies that have sponsored products for the event, and some of them are going to be there on the day.

“A big thank you to King’s Lynn and the team behind the club, led by Buster Chapman, for hosting the event and for their support in making it happen.

“I’d also like to personally thank my committee team, Stephanie Babb and Jamie Griffiths, who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and Andy Hague for arranging the stream so supporters who can’t be here can still be part of my Testimonial.”
