REDCAR have added Hugh Skidmore and David Bellego to their septet for the 2016 season. Skidmore, who is a popular character with the Bears supporters, returns to the line-up after missing the majority of the 2015 campaign through injury.Bellego joins the Australian alongside Lasse Bjerre, Jonas B Andersen and Lee Payne, and promoter Brian Havelock is positive about having the Frenchman on board.Said Havelock: “David contacted me and enquired whether there was a chance of coming to Redcar. It’s always nice to have a rider who is keen to come and really wants to ride for the club.“I looked at his form at Redcar in the past and think he is quite an exciting prospect; he is still young enough to improve his average considerably.”

RICHIE Worrall is relishing the prospect of his return to Elite League action with Belle Vue in 2016.Worrall has rejoined his parent club after sitting out top-flight racing this year, and he will team up with brother Steve at the new National Speedway Stadium.He said: “I’m over the moon about my situation for 2016, and especially to be back with Steve at Belle Vue. I've got a good feeling about the upcoming season, not just for myself but for the team as well.“I was disappointed not to have raced in the Elite League last year. Where I am in my career, I feel I need to be riding as much as I can because the only time I’m learning is when I'm on the bike.“I’ve been around for a few years now but I still feel fresh to the sport. That’s not to say I don’t believe I’ve got what it takes to prove I belong here because I firmly believe I do.”
