Motorsport: Kalle signs up for 2010

Dec 3 2009 by Eric MacKinnon, West Lothian Courier

WEST LOTHIAN-based Scotwaste Monarchs’ have announced 18-year-old Finnish rider Kalle Katajisto will be back with the team in 2010 after his successful, though brief, return at the end of last season.

Kalle showed how much he had improved since he rode for the team as a very young and inexperienced rider in 2007.

He replaced Byron Bekker in the side last term and the young slightly built lad of two years ago had turned into a sturdy-built young man.

In three difficult away matches he scored 30 points, so it was clear that the club and rider wanted this to carry on in 2010.

He also showed good form at Armadale, winning his final ride on the night of his return, though he crashed in the disastrous final match against Belle Vue.

However, Kalle has been highly enthusiastic about continuing and his return has never been in doubt.

Monarchs 2010 (so far): Ryan Fisher, Kevin Wolbert, Kalle Katajisto.
