ACES ANNOUNCE LAMBERT

BELLE Vue have announced the signing of World No.5 Robert Lambert as a replacement for long-term injury victim Max Fricke.

The Australian was ruled out after suffering multiple injuries in a crash during the Polish Division One play-off Final between Zielona Gora and Krosno last weekend.

Belle Vue CEO Mark Lemon said: “We are thrilled to welcome Robert to Belle Vue Speedway and look forward to seeing him in action for the team in Monday’s play-off meeting.

“The injury to Max Fricke was a huge blow for us on the eve of the play-offs, especially as we know how well Max goes around the National Speedway Stadium, and we will miss him and his track craft.

“However, we are delighted to be able to bring our team back to a full 1-7 by bringing in Robert under the long-term injury rule.”
