The Border Roofing Monarchs’ duo in the Premier Pairs on Friday at Somerset will now be Sam Masters and Ryan Fisher, following a torrid meeting for Kevin Wolbert in Germany yesterday.

Fans should rest assured that Kevin didn’t suffer any major damage yesterday during the Wolfsake v Stralsund match, though he did crash in a meeting which had many incidents and was abandoned early.

He is a bit shaken but is sure he will be fit for the matches next week. He said last night “I did want to do the Pairs because I need to improve my record in that meeting! It is also important that I am ready for the league matches next week and I think Sam and Ryan can do well in the Pairs. So I am sorry not to be seeing the fans this week.”

In form Ryan Fisher is happy to take on the meeting because he wanted to go to Cardiff and now has an excuse for heading down. “I’ve definitely got the engines to do the job at Somerset,” he said.
