Kylmakorpi has represented Finland in the Speedway World Cup

Lakeside Hammers will not have Jonas Davidsson or Joonas Kylmakorpi in their line-up for the 2011 Elite League.

Both of the Scandinavian riders have opted to race elsewhere next year.

Davidsson will concentrate on riding in Poland and Sweden, whilst Kylmakorpi has handed in a transfer request after receiving a better contract offer.

Co-Promoter Jon Cook said: "Joonas situation was not unexpected. We won't be breaking our wages structure for any one rider."

The Hammers hope to be able to announce their full line-up for 2011 soon.

It will include British international Lee Richardson and Peter Ljung, who signed for the club in September.
