TOM P. Madsen is returning to the top flight next season to fill a reserve berth at Belle Vue.
The Dane finished the 2005 campaign with Premier League Berwick after losing his place at Oxford.
Aces promoter Ian Thomas said: ''I always look to sign riders who can increase their averages and he can add at least a point if he repeats last year''s form.''

SPEEDWAY 2

AUSTRALIAN star Craig Watson has agreed a deal to remain with Newport in the Premier League next season.
Watson has now fully recovered from a broken ankle which ruled him out of action from the middle of May this year.
Wasps promoter Tim Stone said: ''I''ve chatted with Craig about our options and I''m glad he thinks we''ve got a team that can go forward.''

SPEEDWAY 3

STOKE have just one place to fill in their top five after announcing the signing of the experienced Michael Coles on loan from Exeter.
Coles endured a troubled season with Newport in 2005 but the Potters feel he can regain his form next year.
Coles said: ''The things that were happening off track have all been sorted and I''m able to concentrate full time on racing again.''

SPEEDWAY 4

SHEFFIELD have signed Argentinian ace Emiliano Sanchez - who topped the averages for the Tigers'' Yorkshire rivals Hull last season.
Sanchez is a fully-fledged Sheffield rider after the Owlerton club took over the asset base of the defunct Vikings earlier this winter.
Promoter Neil Machin said: ''Emiliano is a quality rider. He will get used to the Sheffield track pretty quickly and he will win races on away tracks.''
