Delighted Redcar Bears boss Brian Havelock believes new No 1 Lasse Bjerre can do just as good a job as predecessor Richard Lawson, if not better.
Pocket Rocket Bjerre has become the fourth rider to agree terms with the Ecco Finishing Bears for 2015 and will spearhead the side.
The 21-year-old Danish star joins on loan from Peterborough on an 8.65 average and Havelock is delighted to have him on board.
“He’ll be our No 1 and he can do a good job,” said Havelock.
“I phoned Stuart Robson and told him I had a rider lined up who would be above him in the averages and he was fine with that.
“I’d offered Richard a reasonably good deal to come back and he said he would if the numbers added up, but I couldn’t go any higher.
“And I’m satisfied I’ve got a great replacement for him - Richard didn’t really stamp his authority on the No 1 race jacket.
“Sometimes if he was at the back he didn’t make a move, which isn’t what you expect from your No 1 at home.
“I’m happy with the way the team is shaping up for next season.”
Bjerre, who won the World Under-21 Team Cup in 2010 and the Danish Under-21 title in 2011, joins Robson, 2013 and 2014 Bear of the Year Hugh Skidmore and South Tees Silver Helmet winner Jan Graversen as confirmed team members for next year.
That leaves Havelock with three spaces to fill, and it’s possible one of those could go to Polish prospect Rafal Konopka, who came into the side as a replacement for Richard Hall last season and is a Bears asset.
Robert Lambert was among the riders on Havelock’s wish list but he has been unable to strike a deal and the young Brit is now set to go elsewhere.
