squall Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 15/7 SHEFFIELD (2nd half challenge) Excellent! I seem to take more notice of the 2nd half with Team Viking than the actual meeting. I just hope that no Vikings team managers need any heat results.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLapworth Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 We are pleased to be able to announce today our first confirmed rider for the forthcoming summer tour. Alexander Edberg from Sweden will be returning to the Vikings after riding for the team on our September tour last year. Alex has been doing the business this year for Ikos Smederna and Hammerby in Sweden and Torun in Poland and Can't wait to get stuck in here in July. Alex showed a lot of potential last year with us and is a fantastic team player not only on the track but also off it which is why he was awarded the Team Viking award for team rider of the year in 2009. we hope to announce our second rider in the next couple of days Team Viking 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLapworth Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Its all looking good so far for our summer tour and today we can announce another 3 rider who will be Joining Alexander Edberg in July.. Lars Kristian Fuglerud (NOR) 15/11/86 Lars has been a member of Team Viking since our formation in 2009 and was part of our easter tour although that was only to last for 1 meeting at Weymouth after breaking his wrist during a wheelie celebration!! After his impresive performance at Weymouth Lars has been invited back and since coming back from his injury has been scoring well for Drammen in the Norwegian league. Thomas Jorgensen (DEN) 14/7/92 Thomas is a very exciting talent who races for Brovst in the Danish league where he has been putting in some very impressive performances this year. He was named Danish speedways "fighter of the year" in 2009 and will be out to show the British promoters what he can do. Certainly one to keep an eye on during this tour. Michael Melchiorsen (DEN) 13/7/91 Michael or "Mikker" rides for Holstebro in Denmark where he has been adding some punch to the lower end of the team. Came back to the sport late last season after injury put him on the sidelines for a while and along with Thomas Jorgensen is being hailed as a very exciting prospect for the future. With the exception of Lars Kristian this looks to be the youngest team we have put together yet but packed with talent. We will announce our next 2 riders soon and should be able to name our full fixture list in the next couple of weeks.

PETER JUUL LARSEN (DEN) 8/11/1990 Peter returns for his second Vikings tour after being our top scorer over the Easter tour. Eager to come back for more Peter has been riding for Esbjerg in Denmark this year where he has put in some good performances both in division 1 and the liga. After a short spell with Glasgow in 2009 Peter is desperate to get back into British racing and with a UK average of 4 points will be looking to impress. MARC RANDRUP (DEN) 4/3/1993 The "baby of the team" we have been following Marc since his 80cc days and this year has come of age in Danish speedway. Marc has been impresive for Slangerup in the danish liga and has been a top scorer for Glumso in the 1st division. This will be Marc's fisrt visit to the UK and he will be using it as a learning experience and who knows we may be seeing a star of the future in action. The team is now as follows. 1. Peter Juul 2. Thomas Jorgensen 3. Marc Randrup 4. Michael Melchoirsen 5. Alexander Edberg 6. Lars K Fuglerud As the most senior member of the team we have to decided to hand the tour captaincy to Lars Fuglerud who has always been a good team player.
