Oxford vs Belle Vue - Thurs 23rd May


Recommended Posts

Belle Vue's first visit to Oxford in 17 years, and a welcome back to former Cheetah Mark Lemon. Should be a close one I reckon, a big ask for Oxford to turn over a 12-point deficit for the bonus point - especially with the way Ben Cook rides Sandy Lane. Thoughts?

Oxford Spires: 1. Rohan Tungate, 2. Erik Riss, 3. Charles Wright, 4. Maciej Janowski, 5. Chris Harris, 6. Craig Cook, 7. Ashton Boughen.

Belle Vue Aces: 1. Brady Kurtz, 2. Norick Blodorn, 3. Jaimon Lidsey, 4. Ben Cook, 5. Dan Bewley, 6. Connor Mountain, 7. Connor Bailey.

Just hoping we can pick up the bonus point, would end a good week for the Aces with 4 points from 2 meetings.

Ben Cooks last meeting at Oxford for Poole on 8.5.24:-

2 1’ 2’ 0 = 5+2  not exactly brilliant, If Tom Brennan was riding against them, Oxford might be a bit more worried (3 2 3 3 3 =14 in the same meeting)

Not much to choose between the top 5, Cookie could be the difference, 49-41 to Oxfam. They have won 3 out of 4 home meetings by 47-43.... Edit: With no Kurtz will go 52-38.

Only Cook, Mountain and possibly Bailey would have ridden the track?

Bailey was there last week with Redcar was Garbage scored 2 from 4 rides he beat Jason Garrad Oxfords Number 8 and then got another point by finishing 3rd in a 3 rider race

If the (R)Aces show their usual gating skills then it’s a lost cause. If we can master the crucial task of dialling into the starts then it might be a contest. Jaimon will do well.

Although he did have an EF while leading; but it's fair to say he didn't impress.

He got around 9? When guesting at Oxford for KL this season though.

Bomber and Magic need to bring their Polish scores to Britain.

No Brady Kurtz, injured his ankle in Sweden on Tuesday, will be R/R.

R/R is tough at number 1 especially when most of the them not ridden track before.

Is Lewis Kerr still an Oxford rider?

Technically, yes. Oxford have got two more meetings with Craig Cook....then we'll see what happens.

No Brady and R/R at number 1, Oxford should take the bonus point with ease. 

the Aces will do well to hold onto the bonus point ? big effort needed as dan/jaimon/norrick not rode ther before ?
