The one big hole is the lead rider at Monstermob. Paul Bird is still holding out for an international rider. Pretty good field though. Expect to see Reynolds, Smart, Rutter, Kiyonari, Harris, Haydon, Haslam, Ellison, McGuiness, Thomas, Richards, Plater up at the front. But it has to be between Reynolds, Rutter, Smart for the championship. And hard to bet against Reynolds for another year. 1 John Reynolds (GB) Rizla Suzuki Suzuki GSX R 88 Scott Smart (GB) Rizla Suzuki Suzuki GSX R 2 Michael Rutter (GB) HM Plant Honda Honda CBR RR 23 Ryuichi Kionari (J) HM Plant Honda Honda CBR RR TBA TBA Monstermob-Stobart Honda Honda CBR RR 6 Gary Mason (GB) Monstermob-Stobart Honda Honda CBR RR 33 Michael Laverty (IRL) Monstermob-Stobart Honda Honda CBR RR 9 Karl Harris (GB) Honda Racing Honda CBR RR 14 John Laverty (IRL) Vitrans Ten Kate Honda Honda CBR RR 65 Jonathan Rea (IRL) Red Bull Honda Honda CBR RR 74 Kieran Clarke (GB) SMR Honda Honda CBR RR 36 James Haydon (GB) GSE Racing Ducati 999 F-04 91 Leon Haslam (GB) GSE Racing Ducati 999 F-04 5 Sean Emmett (GB) Virgin Mobile Yamaha Yamaha YZF R1 8 Tommy Hill (GB) Virgin Mobile Yamaha Yamaha YZF R1 24 Richard Wren (GB) Virgin Mobile Yamaha Yamaha YZF R1 15 Dean Ellison (GB) Jentin Racing Yamaha YZF R1 44 John McGuiness (GB) AIM Racing Yamaha YZF R1 25 Dennis Hobbs (GB) Nvidia GR Motorsport Yamaha YZF R1 12 Dean Thomas (AUS) Hawk Kawasaki Kawasaki ZX-10 75 Glen Richards (AUS) Hawk Kawasaki Kawasaki ZX-10 4 Steve Plater (GB) Dienza Performance Kawasaki ZX-10 10 Jon Kirkham (GB) Dienza Performance Kawasaki ZX-10 11 Ben Wilson (GB) Vivaldi Racing Kawasaki ZX-10 17 Tristan Palmer (GB) Vivaldi Racing Kawasaki ZX-10 86 Julien Da Costa (F) MSS Discovery Racing Kawasaki ZX-10 19 Nick Medd (GB) ARCO Medd Racing Kawasaki ZX-10 TBA TBA Colin Appleyard Racing TBA Privateers Cup 16 C Gareth Glynn (GB) Jentin Racing Yamaha YZF R1 21 C Malcolm Ashley (GB) MAR Kawasaki ZX-10 26 C Chris Martin (GB) Carmasters Racing Suzuki GSX R 37 C Danny Beaumont (GB) JJL Racing Honda CBR RR 43 C Howie Mainwaring (GB) Bill Smith Racing Yamaha YZF R1 50 C Steve Brogan (GB) PR Branson Honda Honda CBR RR 56 C James Buckingham (GB) Quay Racing Suzuki GSX R 77 C Marty Nutt (IRL) Nuttravel.com Racing Honda CBR RR -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: julian.bond at voidstar.com Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 S: callto://julian.bond/
Looks like the ZX-10R is the non-factory team machine of choice. Are Dienza and Vivaldi new teams for 05?
Lots of Hondas too. Dienza used to run Ducatis. I think Vivaldi are new. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: julian.bond at voidstar.com Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 S: callto://julian.bond/
