SKIPPER Robert Lambert has handed King’s Lynn a boost – by saying he WILL ride in Thursday’s derby clash with Peterborough at the Adrian Flux Arena (7.30).

Lambert collided with fellow Poultec Stars man Craig Cook in Saturday’s Speedway of Nations World Final in Russia and was ruled out of Day Two with a stiff neck.

But he’s had physio on his return and he, along with Cook who is nursing a wrist injury, have vowed to race on for their team.
Club co-promoter Dale Allitt said: “I took the call from Robert who was determined to ride, he knows what a big meeting this is for us.

“We cannot afford to slip up at home and both Robert and Craig are determined to do the job for the team. It underlines what remarkable characters they are and I’m sure our fans will show them their appreciation when they take to the track.

“It’s a major boost for our manager Peter Schroeck and everyone at the club.”

Thomas Jorgensen also makes a welcome return from injury and Nicklas Porsing is back at the club for the first time since 2017.

Peterborough, meanwhile, have booked Poole star Josh Grajczonek as cover for injured skipper Hans Andersen and former Stars man Simon Lambert steps in for Josh Bates at reserve.

A family ticket is available for the meeting at just £36 and with the school holidays getting into full swing there will be goodie bags handed out to the children.

Car Parking is free, VIP packages at just £50 and visits to the centre to watch the racing are also available by email info@norfolkarena.co.uk
