PETERBOROUGH’S riders will go through their paces ahead of the new campaign next Monday.
The Panthers’ new-look septet are set to come together for the first time at Press Day, just over 72 hours prior to their Premiership opener at Ipswich on March 23.
Riders will meet the media at the behind-closed-doors event prior to hopefully putting in laps of the Showground circuit, depending on the weather conditions in the build-up to the day.
And it’s set to be a busy UK return for new No.1 Nicki Pedersen, who is back in British racing for the first time since 2011.
Pedersen will complete his duties at Alwalton and then head up to north to take part in the Peter Craven Memorial Trophy at Belle Vue, an event firmly established as one of the top Individual meetings in the country.
Panthers’ opening home meeting is against Ipswich on March 27, with that meeting set to feature the Witches’ star duo of Jason Doyle and Emil Sayfutdinov – the Russian racer who is back in the sport after a year-long ban due the war in Ukraine, and was this week cleared to race in Poland after securing his licence via an examination.
