MADS Korneliussen has agreed terms with Newport and will line up for his second full season with the Wasps in the 2005 Premier League.

Korneliussen first rode for the club late in 2003 and impressed enough to be given a contract for last season, when he continued to progress. Newport boss Tim Stone said: ''Mads is a vital part of Newport Speedway, and I regard him very highly.''

OXFORD promoter Nigel Wagstaff is continuing to make rapid progress with team building having secured the club''s future last week. Wagstaff has now agreed a deal for Silver Machine asset Tom P Madsen to take up a reserve position at Cowley in the coming Elite League season. The Oxford supremo also expects to make a major announcement concerning the top end of his team at a Fans'' Forum on Thursday.

NEWPORT''S Mads Korneliussen will double-up in the Elite League with Swindon next season. The young Dane becomes the final member of the Robins'' squad and will share a reserve berth with Olvier Allen. Promoter Alun Rossiter said: ''I''ve been interested in him for a while and heard some good stories. I was getting concerned that our options were limited, but I am very pleased with the way things have unfolded.''

WORKINGTON boss Graham Drury admits he will be under pressure to deliver the goods in his first season at Derwent Park. He said: ''There is going to be pressure on the riders and myself but so be it, that is all part of the job. ''The riders are professional sportsmen and they will be going out there to get results for Workington Speedway. I''m sure we can handle it.''
