GREAT Britain boss Alun Rossiter has confirmed five riders to compete for a Select national side at Peterborough on March 15.

Rossiter is putting together a team to take on the Panthers, who themselves include six British riders, in the season-opener at the Showground.

The GB Select will include 2015 Swindon Robins riders Kyle Howarth and Lewis Rose, as well as Richie Worrall, Ben Barker and 2014 Robin Nathan Greaves, with two more riders to be confirmed.

Rossiter, also the Robins team boss, said: “It should be a good way for Peterborough to start the season and it will definitely be helpful for me to have a look at so many Brits in action.

“We don’t have an abundance of experienced riders so it is essential to look at those coming through. While I’ve worked with most of the lads in the GB Select team before in one capacity or another, this gives me a good chance to see how they go about things and what sort of mentality they have.”
