Eastbourne Eagles manager Trevor Geer backs Timo Lahti

Eastbourne Eagles

Eastbourne Eagles team manager Trevor Geer says they will keep the faith with number seven rider Timo Lahti.

The Finn, 18, failed to score a point in their 55-41 Elite League win over Peterborough Panthers at Arlington Stadium on Monday night.

Geer told BBC Sussex: "When he first practised here he looked brilliant. Not many people come and ride it as well as he did.

"We want to help him as much as we can before we start looking elsewhere."

Geer added: "There is a new engine coming over for him. It will be here for the next meeting.

"He's bringing a new clutch from Sweden, and he scores well out there. We're working with him and I'm sure he'll come good."
