As we await the final two confirmations for Friday – it can be a slow process – we are pleased to announce that a current Monarch and a former Monarch will be joining us. These are team new boy Victor Palovaara and old friend Theo Pijper.

Victor Palovaara will be dashing across for his first UK meeting of the season, and it will be a welcome chance for him to re-acquaint himself with the Armadale circuit before our league programme resumes. He was a steady and popular performer last season and of course he knows almost all of the team. Fellow Swede Joel Andersson will be delighted that his buddy is returning.

Theo Pijper is one of the most experienced riders in the sport, having first ridden for us in 2002, and he was extremely unlucky not to gain a place in the Championship this season. On his last Armadale appearance he scored 13+2 (for Berwick) as Bandits thwarted our playoff hopes. He has concentrated on grass and longtrack bookings this summer but has rearranged his travel for weekend events in order to ride in the Scottish Open for the tenth time (a record)!

Victor and Theo's sponsorships have already been taken, but others are available to sponsor now at £75 each, which includes full hospitality for one and the signed racejacket to take home. You can read more and book your package now by tapping the button below!
