Premier League Teams - 2009

Riding order: the rider with the highest average will always ride at number 1, the two with the lowest averages will ride at 6 and 7 but the remaining riders can be placed in any order. The home team will now declare their team and riding order in writing to the away team manager, so he can decide how to structure his team to give him the best chance of securing points.

Links to fans forum, local press, rider and team websites are provided below, where available.

Injured/unavailable riders are highlighted in green.

Rider averages shown are the final ones for 2009, as published by the BSPA (GB reduction highlighted in blue for 2008, where applicable).
