BLODORN BACK FOR ACES

BELLE Vue have been boosted by the return of German star Norick Blodorn for their trip to Ipswich tonight (Thursday) in the Sports Insure Premiership play-off semi-finals.

Blodorn would have missed the meeting in Manchester on Monday had it not been rained-off, as he recovered from a heavy crash in his SGP2 round in Denmark last weekend.

But he is back at reserve for the defending champions at Foxhall, with the Aces operating rider replacement at No.2 for the injured Charles Wright.

Manager Mark Lemon said: “Finishing top meant we chose to have the first leg at home, but we can’t control the great British weather so now we must adapt to the situation and prepare to travel to Foxhall first.

“Having Norick back with us is a fantastic boost for the team, and with the form all of the boys are in right now I think that we can more than cover the rider replacement rides at No.2.

“In the last three years we’ve shown our potential in Suffolk and more than once we’ve put in a highly favourable results, and we are going there with a belief and hope that we can make it four out of the last four.”
