Hurry was team-mates with Karlsson at Wolverhampton

Grand Prix rider Peter Karlsson has signed up to ride in former team-mate Paul Hurry's testimonial meeting.

The Swede is set to join a number of star names at the Battle of Lakeside event, which takes place at the Arena Essex Raceway on 18 July.

Karlsson has been absent from British tracks this year but was keen to join his former Wolverhampton team-mate.

"I had a free week to the World Cup and coming over to ride in this meeting was something I wanted to do," he said.
