A few seasons ago (when we used to host all the Northern teams for the "Northern Launch"), Berwick sent their number eight, as the rest were at Kelso Races on a "jolly" which had been arranged long after the date of the Launch was announced. I remember my first visit to Kelso races on 29/03/2009,,, I was quite surprised to see 'Berwick Bandits' being advertised there, there was riders and bikes and was well promoted,,, 'The Berwick Speedway Novice Hurdle',I wander if that was the same time ?

It would have been a bit later than that as the first Northern Launch was 2014. I think it was the 2016 one, but I'm not entirely sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The number 3 was on his kevlars, with studs/velcro still there for a number to go on top so he may not necessarily be number 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if TJ isn't no.3, who will be ?,,, and is there any need for studs and velcro ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandelion 775 Posted March 24, 2019 Maybe number 3 is Jorgensen's 'Back up' number, and his real number will be 5... 3 is just in case the team gets reshuffled later, maybe Lasse will start as 3 and have 5 on his Kevlars (With Velcro AND studs) I personally hope Jorgensen is at 5, as I think he will do a better job than Lasse there, and Lasse is more the team rider imo, so give him a good partner like Matty to team ride with at 3 and 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riders averages change throughout the season & therefore their position (No.)in the team does too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure the press (if any actually turn up) will get plenty of action shots from the "new" riders and any portrait shots they need from the six riders, before the Practice part of the day starts. As far as the "Meet the Riders," most fans know Stevie anyway and will only be missing out on one new rider (Simon), so it's not going to be the end of civilization as we know it. If that was Liam at the time, both Leon and Keiran Douglas came with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
