STOKE Eazy Rider Potters have completed their team building for the 2010 season after finalising terms with Klaus Jakobsen.

The Dane will return for his third consecutive season at Loomer Road, meaning there is no room in the line-up for Jesper Kristiansen.

"I am happy with the team and feel that all the riders have the ability to increase their averages," said promoter Dave Tattum.

"They also have a hunger and are ambitious to see the club enjoy a successful season. I feel very optimistic about our chances of success."

Team manager John Wooldridge added: "If he pops out of the start he can be as quick as anyone and doesn't get passed that often.

"By his own admission, Klaus gets frustrated by his inconsistency and that is something he has said he will work on.

"We sometimes forget that he is a young lad with many years in front of him and that he has improved in the two seasons he's been with us.

"He was always in the frame because he is a Stoke asset and if he can match his starting figures and maybe find a bit of consistency, he will do a good job for us.

"He looked very good at times on our home track and also put in some decent away results. But he also put in a few iffy scores and he knows he needs to do better because none of the tracks are new to him now."

Only Jakobsen and Jason Bunyan remain from the 2009 side with Taylor Poole, James Holder, Henyk Stichauer, Michal Rajkowski and Ricky Wells making their Potters debuts in 2010.
