As expected....on a 6 average, cant see much improvement coming from that! Does mean he'll be classed as a second string, leaving the door open for Gilkes at reserve?

Does mean he'll be classed as a second string, leaving the door open for Gilkes at reserve? If Oxford used Gilkes at reserve and as expected brought back Maciej, it would leave over 10 points left for the number 1... I know Oxford have had some questionable team selections in the last couple of seasons but starting that far below the limit in the Premiership world be crazy... unless there's any 10 point riders knocking about 😄 1. 2. Erik Riss 5.55 3. Maciej Janowski 7.02 5. Charles Wright 6.32 5. Rohan Tungate 7.71 6. 7. Luke Killeen RS 13.40 for final two riders. I'd personally go for two riders in the top 5 and have Rohan start at 1 and Erik at reserve because I don't see many out and out number 1s left unless they pull a rabbit out of a hat and bring one of the big GP stars over.

SandyLaner Posted Thursday at 10:32 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:32 AM I’ll get a battering from the ‘full time positivity, be grateful we have racing back in Oxford’ gang, but can’t see us winning many this year looking at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted Thursday at 10:46 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:46 AM Oxford are in a bit of trouble here. 13.40 left for 2 riders with Gilkes rumoured to be at No.6 would leave over 10.00 points for one rider. Any GP/Ekstraliga newcomer would be assessed as an 8.00 so that's at least 2 points under the limit (If they can get a No.1) assuming Gilkes does sign which I suspect he will otherwise he wouldn't have left Sheffield at the eleventh hour.

Marky_Mark Posted Thursday at 11:03 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:03 AM Is it possible that it’s not Gilkes after all, maybe he’s off to Birmingham (only other Prem team left with a space for him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted Thursday at 12:26 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:26 PM Maybe Gilkes deal with Sheffield fell through as hes decided he doesn't want to be main reserve and would rather sit out the prem or act as an RS option Rumours of signing for Oxford might be for the championship with a view of cover for Killeen That would make more sense and use the 13 odd points for the 2 remaining riders But....

And his away meetings when he was Lynn brought a haul of 14 points from 3 meetings at an average of 5.09… not exactly 2021 World Champion level… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
