The scorpions are very happy to announce the return of team captain and number one, Josh Pickering! 🦂 Pickering, who also won the CLRC whilst representing Scunthorpe, became an instant fan favourite at the EWR with his all-out racing style and his massive points-scoring ability. Team manager David Howe explains how important Josh is to the club. “To be honest, I felt all last season that we’d just borrowed Josh and should enjoy and appreciate him while we had him. When we first approached him about ‘27 it was a pretty much no, but over time that no turned into a not no and then a maybe, and that gave me hope. We did have another very good rider who would have come in at number one, but as soon as Josh stated he was more than just considering it, well, I threw everything behind that. Josh is like gold dust for the club on and off track. He gets huge points, wins important races, but is equally helpful in the pits, and because of him we have riders like Tate wanting to ride for the club. I genuinely think he enjoyed his time with us, and maybe we balanced out the pressure of Poland a little bit. He wants to win and so do I. We have spoken about building the team, and we both feel we have a group of riders who are capable of doing that.” Next signing will be next Wednesday. (Signings subject to confirmation)
