Club bosses were forced to make a move following the recent death of Swedish favourite Emil Kramer. But Rebels promoter Debbie Hancock said: “We are not signing Steve as a replacement for Emil, which would be an unfair burden to place upon his shoulders, but as a rider that we feel will compliment the other six in the team and one that once he settles into his new surroundings will perform well for us.” Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:07:11 +0000 http://www.corygathercole.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=90 Cory will ride in the south Australian championship at Gillman speedway,Adelaide this Sunday(17th January).

We are all shocked and he will be greatly missed. Official Cory Gathercole Racing News Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:22:31 +0000 http://www.corygathercole.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=82 Thursday December 10, 2009 SOMERSET favourite Emil Kramer has been killed in a car crash in his native Sweden. Kramer had recently agreed a new deal to stay at the Oak Tree Arena where he was top of their averages. British Speedway Promoters’ Association Chairman Alex Harkess said: “This is shocking news. Our first thoughts are with his family and friends but this is also a very sad day for the sport.” Emil Karl Leif Kramer DATE OF BIRTH: 14 November 1979, Mariestad, Sweden. BRITISH CAREER: (2002) King’s Lynn, Hull; (2003) Hull; (2004-05) Hull, Oxford; (2006-09) Somerset. CLUB HONOURS: League Championship winner: 2004 [Hull]; Knock-Out Cup Winner: 2004 [Hull], 2008 [Somerset]; Young Shield winner: 2004 [Hull]. ADDITIONAL INFO: Kramer took his initial speedway rides on an 80cc machine at his hometown track, Mariestad, when just 9-yers-of-age. He moved on to a full size steed in 1996, before first venturing to Britain to represent then top-flight King’s Lynn in 2002. Understandably, he found the going tough at that level and was released in July, being replaced in the side by Slovenian Jernej Kolenko. The following month, Kramer joined Premier League Hull and was to enjoy a fruitful association with the East Yorkshire club, culminating in their treble success of 2004, when the now-defunct Vikings clinched the League Championship, Knock-Out Cup and Young Shield. The Swede went on to become a stalwart of the Premier League and again filled a heat-leader berth for Somerset in 2009, it being his fourth successive season with the Rebels. A versatile competitor, he had the ability to ride any size of circuit and with a shrewd head on experienced shoulders, he once again provided his side with a solid foundation. Immensely popular with the Somerset fans, he won the Rider of the Year award in 2009 after posting a real-time average of close on 9 points per match. Remaining loyal to the club, it was announced at the tail-end of November that Kramer would once again line-up for Oak Tree Arena-based side in 2010. Regrettably, though, he lost his life shortly afterwards, on 9 December, in a road traffic accident in his homeland. This occurred at around 10.00 p.m. in a single vehicle accident after it appeared that the Swede had lost control and crashed into some sort of rock barrier. He was just thirty years old at the time of his death.
