Hard to predict this early on in the season. But our boys will get some more track time this evening, so will go a  slightly conservative 10 point Stars win on the night. Hoping for 14+.

Think Kvech is at 2,iversen at 3 and klindt at 4,can see lynn hitting 55 tomorrow there’s no weak link at home and will be hard for any Oxford riders apart from magic and tungate to score any points of note.

Really looking forward to this one, especially seeing how the Stars class of 2025 fare. Weather is looking fine as well and not a drop of rain predicted which is good.

Got to be looking for at least a 10 point lead to take into the next leg if possible. 

With so few meetings to go on, think it's hard to predict the result. I went for 51-39 on the podcast so will stick with that prediction here.

Just hoping for a good night's racing, no injuries and of course a Stars win.

Chris Harris at reserve (who will be most likely replaced by Klindt) is the reason Kings Lynn will make the play offs this season. Very exciting year for the Stars.

It's a long season.Personally I think we are missing a good no1.At home we might get by without a no1 but away I think we will struggle.Hope I'm wrong😀.

Tonight was the Harris show he was absolutely awesome,didn't make a single gate but still managed a maximum with some breathtaking moves.Will need to make some gates next week though if he wants to beat Kurtz/Bewley.Hopefully Cook,Klindt and Lawson can come to the party next week and we can beat the Aces.

That Gusts fella was good value for Oxford,good signing going on tonight's showing.

Francis Gusts looks like he's going to be a good signing, Unfortunately he's in a team where team building was messed up during the winter.

Oxford cant have Wright and Kildemand riding together @ No.3 & No.4 as it'll be a disaster waiting to happen so Erik Riss has to ride out of position at No.4 when he's a No.2/No.6.

Long long season for the Spires.

Take a bow Bomber Harris, a debut the like of which I've never seen before. Incredible stuff.

Thought at one stage we would be hitting sixty but Oxford got dialled in and improved, particularly Gusts who looks handy.

Certainly more to come from Lynn when you look at the three heatleader scores which bodes well.

Based on Peter Schroeck's pre season comments, he seems to think Riss is a number 1 or 5!

OXFORD boss Peter Schroeck believes that Erik Riss can be a huge star “once he realises how good he is”.

“He’s a top rider and in the right environment we get the most out of him, as he showed last year.

“Once Erik realises how good he is, he will be even better. We are very lucky to have him back on board and I am obviously delighted.”

I know managers have to talk up their team, but if they really believe they have a strong side, could be in for a rude awakening.

Thought we were going to hit 60 at halfway stage. But Oxford found a bit of form and Ben and Nicolai both faded.

Ashton was well in the mix and made a good contribution, but Harris was riding too well to not get an extra ride.

Gusts was excellent value once he got dialed in. Schroek missed a trick in heat 10, should have put Gusts in place of his love child...

Gonna be a good season but we'll meet stiffer opposition for sure. It might be early doors, but 2nd place in the league isn't beyond us
