Last seasons No.1 set to return for 2016 season

Lasse joins fellow Dane Jonas B Andersen in the side for next season, with team building shaping up well. Lasse will start the season with a 8.30 average.

Bears team manager Jitendra Duffill is pleased to have Lasse back on board for 2016:

"I'm very happy that Lasse has decided to join us for another season. We are sure to have a good number 1 again in 2016 and I know that there were other clubs that were also after his signature.  I know that Lasse is very popular with our supporters as he never knows when he is beaten. He pulled off some sensational passes at the Media Prima Arena in 2015 and is one of the most exciting riders in the Premier League."

Bjerre's 2015 season came to a premature end after dislocating his hip in a fall at Redcar in July, but his recovery is going well and is expected to be 100% fit for the start of the season. Duffill believes it is a solid start to team building:

"Lasse had been scoring well this season until he picked up a nasty injury towards the back end of the year and we struggled to win meetings without him. Fortunately he is recovering well and I know that he can't wait to get started again. His and Jonas B Andersens's signings will certainly go down well with our fans and I believe that we have made a solid start to our team building for next year."
