Elite League speedway is back and Sky Sports reporter Chris Louis picks the bones out of the 2016 teams and chooses his men to watch this campaign.Belle Vue AcesI imagine Richie Worrall will be putting himself under pressure to push himself into a heat leader position for the Aces. One man who could possibly be a key rider for them is Max Fricke. If he continues his progression, and there is no reason why he should not, then they will be up there at the end of the season. Obviously the new stadium has got off to an inauspicious start and its going to need quite a bit of recovering but I do believe theyve got an excellent track and facility. It will recover eventually and that will help them. Although, theyve got no home track advantage for the first half of the season so that goes against them a little bit. Max Fricke (Blue) could be key to the Aces season Coventry BeesI think a lot of people will point to Krzysztof Kasprzak as being a key rider for them. If its the Kasprzak of last years GP then theyre in trouble. If its the Kasprzak that we know, and we know what he is capable of, then theyre competitive. Jason Garrity is the Max Fricke of this team and is probably under pressure to maintain his progression. Kacper Woryna will need time to find his feet and they do need him to hit some sort of form to be a top side, so he and Garrity may come under pressure to perform. Krzysztof Kasprzak is the key man for the Bees Kings Lynn StarsTheir side came together late which may go against some of their riders preparations but they will go into the season buoyed by the fact that Rory Schlein has come back stronger than most people would have given him credit for, so that is good for their morale.They look slightly stronger with Niels-Kristian Iversen and it remains to be seen how that pans out with Troy Batchelor and the time he needs to recover from injury. Its a bit of an odd start, starting not necessarily with the team theyll be able to use for the whole season. Schlein is the big positive for them.Robert Lambert says he is ready to step up and find the consistency to make himself a genuine heat leader, if he does, theyre strong. Kai Huckenbeck has potential but has no British experience so you can expect the start of the season to be tricky for him - he is capable of turning in some good performances, he is a good performer on the continent. Schlein has returned strongly from injury Lakeside HammersLakeside have two suspects in Robert Mear and Lewis Bridger. Nobody knows what is going to happen; if theyre fully committed and nobody knows if they are. We wont know until they get going, so I think those two are question marks.Performing at their best, then Lakeside are competitive, but with Mear and Bridger not performing at their best then theyre weak. Home form is always key for Lakeside and they have to build a side that is going to be comfortable at home because its a fairly unique track. In theory they have done that, so the home form should be OK although it has deserted them the last couple of years.A lot has been said that Andreas Jonsson is riding over here for the right reasons, which bodes well because he is a class rider but their season hinges on Mear and Bridger. Lewis Bridger is back in the sport Leicester LionsI dont think this is the year Leicester make an impact because they are just not good enough. They dont have riders that are comfortable on all of the British tracks. They lack genuine heat leader quality, people that will consistently bang in double figure scores. Sebastian Ulamek is a good rider but he has never been consistent over here and I cant see him being a clear leader or anyone else. They lack any clear firepower although they do have strength in depth. Sebastian Ulamek is back in the Elite League Poole PiratesSigning Krzysztof Buczkowski as a non-heat leader, which then allowed them to sign the other three heat leaders (Chris Holder, Davey Watt, Hans Andersen) has given them a huge advantage. Buczkowski is a good rider and is exciting to watch which will be the difference between them and everybody else in the league.Poole have got the strongest reserve pairing if Adam Ellis and Kyle Newman are on form. So to have the strongest reserve pairing and four heat leaders, youd be a fool not to put them top! Adam Ellis could fulfill potential in 2016 Swindon RobinsThe Australian feel at Swindon could work as they tend to react well to each other. Again they seem to lack heat leaders, its a job to see who the second and third heat leaders are in their team. If the competition to fill those berths spurs them on then they look quite good, but if it doesnt then they lack back-up for Jason Doyle at the top. They need good competition in their team to spur a couple of them on to become genuinely consistent heat leaders. Does Jason Doyle lack back up for the Robins? Wolverhampton WolvesWolves needed some wholesale change for the fans sake really - mix it up and try something new. Its very much going to depend on Freddie Lindgren leading them. If he fails to do that then they dont have that No 1 that every team needs to rely on. Joonas Kylmakorpi is a bit of an odd one because consistency lets him down, but he can be a No 1 in this league. Hes proven on so many occasions that he can be a world beater so you need them to find top performances to lead that side. Its a bit of a hit-and-miss side, they are all capable but not on a consistent basis. Joonas Kylmakorpi can be a world beater on his day Man to watch: Because Im a Brit I will say Robert Lambert. Hes going to make a big difference to Kings Lynn if he can be a consistent heat leader. Robert Lambert showed what he is capable of last season for Kings Lynn Youngster to watch: Other than Robert, Brady Kurtz is the one to watch because he wont look at a programme and be fazed by any names.Prediction:1.

LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State found its energy after a sluggish performance earlier in the week, and the Buckeyes needed every bit of it to beat Providence.JaQuan Lyle scored 20 points and JaeSean Tate added 14 as Ohio State held off the Friars 72-67 on Thursday night.Ohio State (3-0) looked sharper after barely surviving North Carolina Central earlier in the week and won this game despite the efforts of Rodney Bullock, who was 5 for 9 from beyond the 3-point line and scored 27 points for Providence (1-1).It just seemed like we had more flow to us, Ohio State coach Thad Matta said.Trevor Thompson added 12 points for the Buckeyes in their opener of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, an eight-game series featuring Big Ten teams against the Big East.Indiana transfer Emmitt Holt scored 11 for Providence, and Jalen Lindsey booked 10 as the Friars as a team shot just 34 percent from the floor. The Buckeyes made exactly half their shots.Providence, searching for an identity this season after the loss of its two best players to the NBA, couldnt overcome the Ohio State lead but was still in the game in the final few minutes.Bullock closed it to 50-49 at the 10-minute mark with a 3-pointer, but the Buckeyes went on a 9-0 run over the next 1:28 to lengthen the lead again. The Friars pulled within two at the 4-minute mark with an Isiah Jackson 3-pointer, but a series of fouls put Buckeyes at the line and allowed them to build the lead and hang onto it.We fought back a couple different times, Providence coach Ed Cooley said. I think we were down by double digits two different times and found a way to get back. We lost a lot last year, and to grind it out and make it a competitive game right down to the wire, Im really proud of our group.The Buckeyes led the cold-shooting Friars 38-28 at the half, highlighted by a 9-2 run that erased a 17-16 Providence lead, and punctuated with aa Keita Bates-Diop dunk off a steal and a 3-pointer from Lyle.dddddddddddd Thats the last time the Friars would lead.Ohio State dominated inside, scoring 42 in the paint against Providences 20.I thought we did a good job finishing down there, Matta said. Its been a little bit of a problematic area for us. Our guys did a good job of getting the ball where we wanted it.BIG PICTUREProvidence: The departures of superstar Kris Dunn and sophomore Ben Bentil to the NBA left Cooley without a proven, experienced player around which he could build this years team, although Bullock stepped up to carry the load Thursday. Some of his teammates are going to have to do more for the Friars to be successful.Ohio State: After struggling on Monday, Ohio State triumphed in their first true test of the season. The Buckeyes were able to hold off Providences scrappy second-half charges and keep the lead.We were up by 12 points at one point, but they went on a run, Lyle said. This team last year probably would have folded and end up losing the game. It shows our maturity and how much we have grown up. We will continue to build off this game.INJURY REPORTBates-Diop went down awkwardly with his leg bent behind him about six minutes into the second half. He stayed down awhile, but eventually was helped to his feet and walked to the locker room under his own power. Matta said Bates-Diop was day-to-day with an ankle injury.UP NEXT:Providence: Returns home to play Grambling State on Saturday.Ohio State: Plays Western Carolina at home Monday night. The Buckeyes also play the day before and the day after Thanksgiving.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacy ' ' '
