BIRMINGHAM have announced a double team change following Zach Wajtknecht's decision to take a break from racing.
The Perry Barr side have brought in Danish prospect Nick Agertoft (pictured) and former Brummie Danyon Hume, with Nathan Stoneman released to accommodate the changes. Brummies co-owner David Mason said: "It was a tough one with Nathan because his attitude has been spot on. "He has also had some really good scores in his short time with us but he's simply a victim of that harsh old numbers game and because we had a couple of points to play with with the way the new averages work, we decided to use some of them. "Nick comes in on a five point average and Erik Gundersen can't speak highly enough of him - and we'd like to think he knows a good speedway rider when he sees one after everything he's achieved in the sport! "He's been to Perry Barr a few times already, including press and practice day this year and his style, the speed he showed, his equipment, his eagerness to learn - everything about him has impressed us the few times we've met him. "As for Danyon, I'm guessing that should prove popular. We were slated by some for not including him in our team at the start of the season so it should make the majority of our supporters happy to have him back." PICTURE: Chris Simpson
