GERMAN star Michael Härtel (pictured) will be back in British racing next season after agreeing a deal with King's Lynn.
Härtel was on Ipswich's books in the Championship in 2018 but saw his season cut short by injury, and has not raced in Britain since then. Stars team manager Peter Schroeck said: "When we looked at riders, we thought Michael was worth giving a go because he is super keen to come back to England, he has got very good bikes and he is well established in Germany with his exploits on longtrack, and he is only 21-years-old. "He has been riding all over Europe and he is not doing too bad, so he wants to establish himself here too. Obviously, coming to King's Lynn with Erik, Robert and I there who he knows means that it shouldn't take him long to settle in. "Michael is going to come over and do some practice sessions at some of the tracks in the UK, but he knows how to ride a speedway bike so I think we should be able to get the best out of him!"
