So an Oxford rider will be guesting for Birmingham at Oxford.....

Welcome to British Speedway :D

It’s not a British speedway thing, but an Oxford thing, if you have several teams your going to have instances where your regular riders for one of your A or B sides turn up to race for the other side to take points off you.

Doubling up has been around for years just that this is the first time where riders will be riding for another club at the track where they normally race for the home team, it does look a bit silly to be honest.

Although we've seen it with NDL teams before.  Most obviously Ashton Boughen.

Nicholls isn't guesting for Birmingham, he's a temporary signing.

This situation will happen fairly often this year when Harris, Wright & Kerr race for their Championship teams & when Masters, Nicholls & Jenkins race for their Premiership teams.

Seems strange decision putting Lampart at 3 and Brennan at 2 thought be other way round or Worrall at 3.

Having looked at possibilities?

May be its thought that Brennan has a stronger chance in Heat 8.....?

Lampart will be out with Worrall for first 3 rides and he should be used to the track by Heat12 and he will have Z.Cook with him then.....or a T/S if required?

Nichols at 5 is the only decision that needs to be implemented, as that will most likely be the only position that will have any positive impact?

It's going to be a tough night... 55-35 ?

One is assuming that Nichols will be doing a few laps at P/P today!?

Looks like a wet afternoon forecast in Oxford ?

 

Less than 2mm I very much doubt there will be an issue. Oxford's postponements have all been in much wetter circumstances (except when they forgot to pay the medical team)

Well with a forecast like this...I would be reluctant to travel....its a 160mile round trip!
