MORE RIDERS CONFIRMED......
Krzystof Kasprzak has been confirmed as a starter for Bjarne Pedersen's Testimonial Meeting that will get the 2009 season underway for the Dorset club on March 18th. The popular Pole amongst the regulars on the Wimborne Road terraces will be lining up for the home side along with Swede Daniel Davidsson, whilst double world U21 champion Emil Saifutdinov will again make a rare UK appearance.
The brilliant Russian, who twice denied Chris Holder the taste of a world individual crown, rode in Poole's Jubilee Meeting in 2008 and is regarded very highly by Pirates club owner Matt Ford, who has made no secret of the fact that he would dearly love to bring the youngster to the club.
Speaking about the latest riders to confirm their availability, Poole skipper Bjarne Pedersen admitted "I am getting more excited about the meeting as it gets nearer and I think it is going to be a very special occasion. I am really pleased Emil has agreed to ride and he will be representing the Newcastle side". Pedersen who has become very much 'part of the furniture' at Wimborne Road will also be riding for Danish club Holstebro in 2009 and Vastervik in Sweden but will be switching clubs in Poland as he leaves Gdansk for Tarnow.
