Isle of Wight: The Isle of Wight expect to sign Australian youngster James Holder - the brother of Chris Holder who has signed for Poole next year. James Holder has to achieve certain criteria in Australia before the start of next season to obtain a work permit.

.

Provided he does, he will come into the Islanders’ side on a 7.00 point average unless, of course, the rules on averages are changed at the promoters’ conference later this month.

.

Co-promoter, Dave Pavitt, said “James does not have partiality but none of us, least if all James, can envisage any problems.”

Edinburgh: John Campbell, the Monarchs’ promoter, says that young Finnish rider Kalle Katajisto could return next season depending on the points limit set at the promoters’ conference.

Katajisto rode in the main body of the team this year having just turned 16 and with only a handful of meetings on a 500cc machine but the Monarchs could be interested in using him at reserve alongside Aaron Summers next year.

Campbell said “If the limit is raised I don’t think we’ll run with two three point reserves, but if it goes down we’re in a favourable position with Kalle and Aaron.
