Where have you been lol!

I only saw both teams on Thursday night, when Kemp was riding.  Ever since it feels like I've been dealing with Crowd Strike.

Belle Vue website still has Kemp at #2.  It also says "OXOFRD" :D

Is there any point Oxford having a team manager? Where's the tac sub Peter? Heat 9 was surely the time to use it.

Edit: Guess heat 12 was better than nothing. Still shocked he didn't wait until heat 14.

Credit to Oxford tonight score line doesn’t reflect the efforts. Some of the best racing I’ve seen at nss this year. 

I'd disagree & say the scoreline reflected the efforts of a weak team.

Brilliant team changes. Not!

Ps I don't blame Killeen, he scored as well as a Championship reserve can be expected to.

that's the third team change and every time the team seems to be getting weaker :rolleyes: - no tac sub till too late bonus point thrown away

Bonus point was looking questionable all meeting but Belle Vue won it in fantastic heat 15, great racing throughout with Oxford riders getting stuck in.

I thought aggregate bonus had been lost after Lidsey's spill and the consequential Spires 1-5 in heat 3.  I've seen better spectacles at the NSS.  Janowski is very hot & cold.  Dodgy team management on both sides, Voulas should have replaced Mulford (who I don't think is the answer to Ace's RS gap) in heat 8 and Oxford should have used TS in heat 9.  Thought Kurtz was going to come off going so wide in the really deep stuff on bend four on laps 2 & 3 of heat 15, Bewley did him no favours as they entered the second lap that's for sure.

RS is protected in heat 8

As someone else said Mulford couldn't be replaced in heat 8. If he's not the best RS option for Aces, who would you pick?

Not sure what you were watching.   

The scoreline certainly didn't reflect the efforts of a very competitive Oxford team.  They were in it right up to the last 3 heats, and favourites for the bonus point going into heat 13.   It was only a fantastic finish from the Aces and an incredible heat 15 which denied them the extra point.

I didn't see the match, my comment was based on the point - just because a team puts in an amazing effort - doesn't mean the score will show that.

Most of the Oxford riders got a decent score imo, therefore the reason for the bp loss is because they're not a strong team.
