Sheffield will most definetly be my 1st choice on this date, doesn't matter to me who's there & who's elsewhere it's why the meeting is being held that's important.

WORLD Champion Nicki Pedersen has been confirmed at the head of a top-class line-up for Swindon's 60th anniversary celebration on March 15.

Pedersen will not be racing in the Elite League this year but has agreed to take part in the Blunsdon showpiece where he will be amongst the favourites alongside home skipper Leigh Adams.

Chris Harris, Emil Sajfutdinov and Kenneth Bjerre are three other 2009 Grand Prix riders who have accepted invitations, and there is also a strong contingent of current and former Swindon riders.

This year's team members Simon Stead, Troy Batchelor and Jurica Pavlic will be joined by ex-Robins Lee Richardson, Mads Korneliussen, Charlie Gjedde and Krzysztof Kasprzak.

Jarek Hampel, Niels-Kristian Iversen and Antonio Lindback complete the names announced so far, with one more to follow.

Robins chief Alun Rossiter said: "It really is a world-class field and we think it is a great way to start the season.

"Getting Nicki Pedersen to come here is great because he’s not riding in Britain this year.

"Hopefully, it’s a field that will get the spectators excited and we’ll have a big crowd there on the night."

How come Swindon are allowed to run on this Sunday? Is Sunday their alternate race night/day?

 

P.S. Agree, the line up is really good.

[Seb the Snail 22]

milkman - yes, Swindon usually have 2 or 3 Sunday meetings during the course of the year.

 

As for the last place, Holta would be my first choice, followed by Hans or Holder.
