Oxford Spires 2025

I don't understand all the negativity, they're only using 4/5 points on Kildemand (I believe), which makes him a heck of a reserve, if he moves up will still have a good reserve. 

As long as they don't waste their final signing, look like a play-off side to me.

Even if he struggles, just replace him with a doubling up Champ rider, Kerr / Kemp / Batchelor / Worrall, no harm done.

He will end up as a heatleader.

It doesn't work like that, Pawlicki and Milik were given 7.50 averages because they were both Ekstraliga riders in 2023 averaging over 6.

By the rulebook chart and under the criteria, Kildemand would be a 4.00 Premiership / 5.00 Championship.

This is because he only rode in the Danish super league this year, i.e Didn't complete 18 or more heats in Poland/Sweden, and has been absent for 3 of more years from Britain.

You know your Apples MM. You'd think you knew what you were doing 😜 Worky shoulda got him in

If Janowski can hit the ground running next season he'll be top 5 in the averages.  Are Spires going to start with Tungate &: Janowski as their spearhead?

If so a solid 1-6 can be forged with points aplenty available.

He didn’t in 2024, not sure why he might in 2025. Surely he can’t be any worse tho.

You can't get a gp rider on a 4 point average which is apparently what Kildermand will come in on. Time will tell but if he is a 4 pointer then that should be a good signing. 

Why do people keep going on  about something someone done almost a decade ago It's almost irrelevant. It's about the here and now .

You are correct, it is irrelevant what a rider did a decade ago but it shows that he a capable rider who although is not the rider he used to be should still be able to hold his own at second string/ reserve level.

Who knows?

 

It should be open and transparent  - no reason for it not to be mentioned in the announcement 

Should be shown on SGB Web page anyway

Could they have signed him in both leagues on both averages? 
If so, Knudsen seems an odd choice.

obviously he probably wouldn’t have wanted to do both leagues but getting him in the championship on a 5 would have been some signing
