Coventry Bees
Published Date:
13 March 2008
Track: Brandon Stadium
Race-night: Friday
Track length: 301m
Track record: 58.0secs - Leigh Adams, June 2006; Chris Harris, September 2006.
Team manager: Peter Oakes/Colin Pratt
Team: Chris Harris 7.78, Rory Schlein 7.74, Simon Stead 6.73, Olly Allen 5.30, Billy Janniro 5.17, Stanislaw Burza 3.12, Andreas Messing 3.00. Total: 38.84. Number eight: Ben Barker.
One to watch: Messing - two instantly fogettable stints over here with Lakeside, but the Coventry promotion clearly think he has the class to cut the mustard.
Assessment: The reigning champions have shipped out Britain's second best Scott Nicholls and replaced him with bargain signing Simon Stead. Top three will only improve and should be set for more success with Billy 'Bonus King' Janniro watching their backs.
Questions marks about the reserve duo - particularly Pole Burza who has incredibly moved from the worst Premier League team into the best Elite League team during the winter - but still in with a great shout of another title.
Plummer's prediction: 2nd
