Who's Hot and Who's Not?
Posted 03/01/05
With 2005 now started, there are a number
of teams completed or nearly completed with a couple barely started
- officially.
I have tried to pull together a listing of riders
announced for each team and this can been seen here
along with the spaces left to fill. The averages are not definite
but hopefully I am not too far off and many have also been checked
from the excellent new site at www.premierleaguespeedway.co.uk
With the positions left to fill it is
interesting to note some of the riders from last season who do not
officially as yet have a team place for 2005, including two of the
Tigers team from 2004. These riders are as follows: -
| Name |

Building Ave |

| Peter Carr |
7.94 |
| Mark Simmonds |
7.22 |

Obviously some of these riders already have team
places, it just has not been announced yet. There are also possibly
riders dropping down from the Elite League or stepping up from the
Conference League to take into account.
However, a few of these riders will be missing from
the scene in 2005. Whether any re-appear after the first declaration
of green sheets is another matter!
