Bumper 2005 WSBK entry list announced.

The FIM has today released the final entry list for the 2005 World Superbike championship.

The list confirms that GP riders Norick Abe and Fonsi Nieto have joined the class, while former WSBK race winner Ben Bostrom is duly named at Renegade Honda and Frankie Chili at Klaffi Honda.

Reigning world champion James Toseland will swap his #52 to run the #1 plate this year while, as predicted, the factory Ducati team has replaced Fila with Xerox as their title sponsor. Ten Kate Honda will also have a new sponsor in the form of Winston.
