Redcar ready for the Gladiators!
After a weather imposed 16 day break from Championship action Redcar embark on a southern tour as they take on the Plymouth Gladiators on Tuesday (19:00 start) with another away trip to Scunthorpe on Friday, having seen the meeting against Poole cancelled. Plymouth turned heads when their application to race in the Championship was accepted as they swooped for 3-time world champion Jason Crump and former GP star Bjarne Pedersen to spearhead their campaign but things have been far from smooth for the Gladiators who are in the lower reaches of the Championship table after a number of home defeats.
Currently, the Redcar “Agilia” Bears sit in the Championship play-off places and will be hoping for a strong week away from home to solidify their play-off aspirations. Redcar name a 6 man side as they again utilise rider replacement for Jordan Stewart whilst the Plymouth Gladiators are at full strength and will be feeling more confident on home shale after their recent home win against Edinburgh. That victory saw the return of Jason Crump from an injury lay-off and the Bears will be wary of the threat posed by the 3 time World Champion. Nevertheless, returning Redcar rider James Sarjeant is looking forward to the clash, “I have seen a few races online from Plymouth this year and they seem to be dialled in around there but I’m looking forward to getting stuck in. It will be good to have a busy spell with Redcar after a long break.”
