I think we been waiting 10 seasons for him to find his form..Every year its the same what a great signing he is ...Riss is just another guy who always lets you down..still have no idea why people thought this was  a great side..

Confidence rider is Klindt.

When he's confident he scores solidly but when the confidence is low he seems to really struggle.

Something tells me this is just the first move to make points available with a new signing on its way for Kerr 

Either that or Klindt's possibly had a falling out with the TM over not being given an R/R ride at Birmingham.

Has to be more to it when Riss for the injured Kerr fits in a straight swap.

Thats the only way it would make sense

Seems the most logical answer or a massive knee jerk reaction.

Blimey.

Fair enough if there are things behind the scenes they are unhappy with but is four matches really enough for riders to get going fully? Not for me.

Riders should ready for start of season most have practices in other countries before season starts.No excuse for not being ready if that’s  your profession.IMO.

Klint has always been hit or miss type of rider.

They probably should but the reality across most sports is that not all competitors will start the season in full swing, that's just human nature especially if returning from injury.

odd in a way as at Foxhall last year he was really good - beat Doyle fair and square which doesnt happen often!

Yes a bit of a strange decision, Klindt is a far better rider than Riss so must be more to it than meets the eye.

The Birmingham track is predominantly a gaters track and we all know Nicolai is primarily a gater, horses for courses maybe ?, Klindt for Milik or Lampart, as someone else said Klindt for Lampart keeps Cook at reserve for longer, whereas Klindt for Milik gives Brum a bit more wriggle room to bring in the top end rider that they badly need, personally I would offload Milik he is 30 and aint going to get any better, whereas Lampart is 22 and could still improve. I have no idea what they will do but Oxford are not messing around whereas Brum who badly need strengthening up appear to be dithering yet again.

It must be a huge shock to the system to get binned from a UK team..

The riders will know that "talent" is in short supply, in both leagues, so many would think they are "bomb proof"..

The reality of course is that even if you get binned by one club, invariably another will want your services, given that lack of a talent pool due to running 7 man teams..

Been happily living in stropshire ,his 2 girls are at school here,one of them famous for doing a question and answering video with dad.BUT as you said he is going to be snapped up by another club and putting two and two together i get a feeling ..........

Could it be money orientated? Maybe Riss will accept a lower guarantee or per point value?
Running three teams doesn’t come cheap so maybe they are cutting their cloth accordingly, especially if a rider is scoring well below what his guaranteed points money equates to.
