TEENAGER Freddy Hodder will be racing in the Cab Direct Championship for the first time this year.
He has accepted the offer of a team place at Berwick after spending the last two seasons in the National Development League with Belle Vue Colts. Bandits team manager Stewart Dickson said: “Compared to many that he will be racing against in 2024, Freddy is relatively inexperienced on a speedway bike, but he is an excellent all-round motorcycle racer, and slots seamlessly into the Berwick side. “He will be learning from some of the best in Rory Schlein and Lewi Kerr, while Drew Kemp and Danyon Hume have first-hand knowledge of what it takes to establish yourself as a young rider.”
