Col Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Saw enough of Jack Thomas at Perry Barr last year to see the potential, the downside is that if the track isn't right (and it often wasn't) he will saunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I'd like to see a new face in the Oxford line-up. There are a few youngsters in Europe that I believe will be ready for Championship racing in 2022. I understand the Poles are to opperate an U24 league but they will still have a squad of which only 7 will race so I think some riders would be better in British racing where they will be in the team each week. In Denmark Tim Sorensen has been flying under the radar but I think British speedway could take him to the top. From Sweden Casper Henriksen has been scoring at reserve in the top flight for 2 seasons. Then there is Petr Chlupac from the Czech Republic he has excellent equipment & is very willing to learn. Any of these would start on a 5.00 average, Maybe Henriksen would be better starting as reserve but the other two could fit straight into the top 5.

Expand The question you need to ask is “Are Oxford a new trading company?” If so you can’t get visa’s for new EU riders for 12 months (Like Poole for Basso) until you have a set of trading accounts. This is apparently what hammered Newcastle last year as quoted by others. You rely on existing riders from other clubs you want to loam them out otherwise.

thebaron Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Has Zane Keleher signed for Oxford ? He does seem to "like" a Cheethas tweet. If so your getting a dedicated Aussie racer who can make further strides in the UK in 2022.
