Kenneth and Lasse Bjerre are the latest star-studded additions to Magnus Karlsson's testimonial meeting.

The talented Danish brothers will be joining the likes of three-time world champion Nicki Pedersen and Elite League star Freddie Lindgren at Beaumont Park on Saturday, March 17.

Kenneth, the older Bjerre at the age of 27, has been a regular competitor in the Grand Prix series since 2004, and last season finished seventh overall.

Kenneth is back at Peterborough in the Elite League this year.

He is more than happy to be doing his bit for Karlsson, who has been granted the testimonial for his 10 years' service to British speedway.

"Magnus has been in speedway for years," said Kenneth. "I've not raced at Leicester before so I am looking forward to it and I hope it is a good night for Magnus."

For younger brother Lasse, 18, the meeting will be his first appearance in the livery of the Elliott-sponsored Leicester Lions since he signed from Ipswich last year.

Kenneth believes Lasse will go well and said: "He's only 18, so it's too early to say what he can do. But he had a good season last year so I think he will do well again."

The occasion is becoming something of a family affair. As well as the two Bjerres, Karlsson will be joined by his two older brothers, Peter and Mikael.

In addition, Ludvig Lindgren, the younger brother of Freddie, has also agreed to appear. Ludvig, 21, will be riding for Lions' Premier League rivals Newcastle this season. He made one appearance at Beaumont Park in 2011, scoring seven points in the Pride of the Midlands meeting.

As part of the build-up for his meeting, Karlsson has accepted an invitation to join the field for the last-ever Telford Ice meeting a week on Sunday.

"I thought it would be a good idea," he said. "I've never ridden on ice before although, many years ago, I tried it on a lake back home.

"Graham Drury (the event organiser) has kindly offered me a stall for my testimonial at Telford so I will be there to meet people and sign autographs before I go out to race. I think it will be fun."

It means Lions fans will have two riders to cheer on with Jan Graversen having already been confirmed in the line-up.
