Three overseas riders have joined the field for the Theo Pijper Night of Champions which opens the Scottish Speedway Scottish speedway season on Friday 20th March (7:30pm).

Germany’s Kevin Wolbert, returning to Monarchs this year, will be in the field to ride for his team mate of last season (they rode together for Glasgow of course). Kevin is determined to improve on a disappointing 2014 season.

He isn’t the only German in the field because 22 year old Rene Deddens will be coming across to compete. He rides for the Olching team in his home country and also in Poland, and Theo rates him a good prospect.

In addition there will be a Dutch competitor, Henkie Koonstra (25) who is quite inexperienced in speedway but is keen to join Theo’s big night.

RIDERS SO FAR: Kenneth Hansen, Claus Vissing, Aaron Summers, Kevin Wolbert, Rene Deddens, Henkie Koonstra, Rusty Harrison, Theo Pijper.
