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 November 28, 2024 Report Share Posted November 28, 2024 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 November 28, 2024 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2024 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 November 28, 2024 Report Share Posted November 28, 2024 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 November 28, 2024 Report Share Posted November 28, 2024 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....

Averaged 8.71 (inc bonus) for the Panthers in 2023, and that included a disaster meeting. That's not too shabby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
