Rickardsson to join Oxford

Moto world champion Tony Rickardsson is set to return to the Elite League with Oxford.

The Swede has agreed a deal with the Cheetahs that will see him compete for the first six weeks of the season before concentrating on his Grand Prix campaign.

Oxford promoter Aaron Lanney said: “Tony is the ultimate professional and to have him ride for me in my first season is something very special.”
