Simon Stead and Morten Risager join Swindon Speedway for 2010

 

Back to Blunsdon: Simon Stead and Morten Risager  join 2010 Swindon speedway team

Simon Stead and Morten Risager will join Leigh Adams, Mads
Korneliussen and Grzegorz Zengota in Swindon’s top five for the 2010
speedway season.

Danish youngster Morten Risager was drafted into Swindon’s 2009 line
up as a late season replacement for Jurica Pavlic. The likeable Dane,
an experienced top flight rider, spent the early part of the ’09
campaign with Ipswich following an injury to club skipper Leigh
Lanham.

A stint with Manchester’s Belle Vue Aces ensued before Risager joined
Swindon to assist with the club’s play off-charge.

Risager alternated between the Robins’ reserve berth and main body
during his spell with the club, successfully notching an array of
eye-catching hauls. Indeed the twenty two year old showed great
tenacity and speed during his time at Blunsdon.

 

Simon Stead meanwhile spent a full campaign at Blunsdon in 2009 and
enjoyed an impressive season in Robins’ colours. Having spent the 2008
term on loan at Coventry, Stead became a full Swindon asset when he
figure in a swap deal that saw Charlie Gjedde cement his move to Belle
Vue.

The Sheffield born rider – who has accumulated a host of club honours
during his British career – settled well at Blunsdon in 2009 and
concluded the season with an Elite league average of 6.97. Indeed, the twenty seven year old was ever present in the Robins’ domestic
campaign.
