KK BACK AS STARS COMPLETE

KING’S Lynn have brought former World No.2 Krzysztof Kasprzak back to British Speedway for the 2023 season.

The Pole last rode in the UK for Rye House in 2018 and comes into a Stars side which will also feature Danish racer Michael Palm Toft after two years with rivals Peterborough.

Skipper Josh Pickering, Nicolai Klindt, Thomas Jorgensen, Frederik Jakobsen and Rising Star Jason Edwards are all retained from the team which completed this year’s campaign.

Manager Alex Brady said: “If you look at all of our riders, they’re all on starting averages lower than what they actually achieved last season or the last time they were here in England.

“That’s the thinking behind the seven we’ve gone with, and we’re looking forward to the challenge of 2023 and seeing what we can do.

“We work together as a group, and by maintaining that continuity with five of the same seven from last season, I think that will stand us in good stead along with the two characters that we’ve added.

 “I’m really looking forward to it, and in my opinion the team we have for next season gives us the opportunity to go forward.”
