BIRMINGHAM have the chance to move off the foot of the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership table when they travel to King’s Lynn on Monday (June 9, 7.30pm).
The Curtis Sport Brummies are now level on points with the Stars having won their last two outings – and victory in Norfolk would see them jump up to fifth with Oxford not in action.
CEO Nigel Tolley admits recent results have provided a much needed morale boost and is excited to see what his side can do at the Adrian Flux Arena.
“The wins against Leicester and Belle Vue really have changed the atmosphere around the place,” Tolley said.
“To be fair to the team, they’ve kept their spirits high even when results weren’t going our way but you can tell how much the wins meant to them.
“We’re on a bit of a roll and we’d love to be able to keep that going at King’s Lynn.
“We’re expecting another battle though, particularly with them having someone like Jan Kvech at reserve who’s a GP rider.
“But if our riders just keep doing what they have been lately then we’ll have a chance.”
Tobiasz Musielak and Jason Edwards both line up against their former employers and Matej Zagar will arrive in Norfolk fresh from qualifying for the Grand Prix Challenge on Saturday.
King’s Lynn have booked Belle Vue’s Norick Blodorn as a guest for the injured Ben Cook and teenager Luke Harrison steps in at Rising Star in place of Ashton Boughen.
KING’S LYNN: Richard Lawson, Norick Blodorn, Nicolai Klindt, Chris Harris, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Jan Kvech, Luke Harrison.
BIRMINGHAM: Michael Jepsen Jensen R/R, Paco Castagna, Tobiasz Musielak, Keynan Rew, Matej Zagar, Jonas Jeppesen, Jason Edwards.
