BUILDBASE Bees skipper Scott Nicholls will contest the five-round Australian Championship series early in 2007, starting at Mildura on January 3.
Simon Stead is the other British rider in the field, which is also set to include many of the top Australians, most notably World Champion Jason Crump.
It will be only the second time that Scott has raced in Australia - the first was for the Grand Prix in 2002 where he secured his first-ever rostrum finish with second position at Telstra (Stadium Australia).
