COVENTRY Buildbase Bees have made a change to their lower-order - with Jordan Frampton and Josh Auty now back in the squad.
Frampton and Auty will revert to sharing a position under the doubling-up rule, with Czech rider Filip Sitera the man to make way.
Bees had to remove the doubling-up riders from their declaration when Frampton broke a scaphoid in a crash at Wolverhampton, but he returned earlier this month and has since proved his fitness with good scores in his last two home matches for Newport in the Premier League.
Auty, meanwhile, continues to impress with Sheffield, and the change has been made just ahead of new averages coming into effect in September, when Ben Barker - who has been prolific at reserve - moves up into the main body of the team.
Frampton will race at No.2 in Monday's home fixture against Eastbourne, but either he or Auty will be at reserve, subject to availability, in the remaining matches.
Sitera has struggled for points in recent weeks after a match-winning nine (paid 12) against Ipswich on July 10, and the change puts Bees under the 42-point limit by just 0.01 of a point.
Promoter Colin Pratt said: "We decided the time was right to change things around, as we make plans for some important matches next month.
"It's a shame for Filip but we welcome Jordan and Josh back, and they have both shown they have the ability to score points for us at reserve this season."
