They've been below the limit for some time now, don't seem to have any plans to improve the team imo. Seems strange that they'd give up on Klindt so early, but not bother making changes when they have points available (for both teams).

Yes Klindt should have been given more time, I know he wasnt great early on but he is now showing his true form so a bit of a hasty decision. They need a top rider but apparently Riss wont be dropped. I said at the start of the season Oxford Premiership team were good and they would be had they kept Klindt.

Hilly Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28  Kerr and Riss both fail to beat an opponent again last night. No chance we finish 4th with this line up, scrambling over the line at home and regular 10-20 pt defeats away means no bonus points. I can see two home defeats next week against Sheffield and Ipswich, season over. It doesn't even need GP standard riders, experienced riders who have ridden here before like Thorsell/Lahti/Pawlicki/Woryna would be an improvement or go the other way with a youngster with a view to next season. Having had spare points for so long, it appears from the outside like a can't be bothered scenario, that's never really looked the case since our return to the sport. Maybe they are/have been looking, I'm not suggesting it's easy.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 So who is coming in for Kerr then as he’s announced that he’s been released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they should have given Kerr a shot at number 2 before dropping him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTW Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Surely Oxford have gotta go and get a GP rider on a 8 average at the very least,think the form of Riss has dipped alarmingly I would get someone to replace him and then get magic to reserve then it would be sorted a whopping total of 6pts under the limit before any changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Been better to have released Riss to enable Lewis to ride at reserve and use up the spare points on that replacement.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make that 3 times Oxford have de-strengthend this year Riss for Klindt Kerr for Cook Kemp for Kerr For a team well under the limit, baffles me. Maybe they don't want to make the play-offs due to lack of dates?  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Unless there is another change with Riss being replaced and the remaining points being used then it seems complete madness. Zach cook for Riss would have been better surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKM91 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Kemp!? Wow haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Theman Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Just seems cost cutting is being put in place as the opportunity to bring in a rider who would have made Oxford real contenders has been passed up. Nothing against Drew Kemp but this move weakness the team yet again. Hopefully other changes are planned to prove me wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d gladly welcome Lewi Kerr back to the Stars at reserve with Rowe  which would move Wojdylo to 2, but he is more than good enough to ride there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Finances already causing problems at Oxford because you don't make your team weaker with every change you make. It never was sustainable running in all 3 leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Maybe it's part of a plan waiting for another rider to get fit to replace Riss with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
