Yes Bellego looked a reasonable signing until he actually got on his bike! Berge has a relatively poor average given his ability, typical of most French sportsmen he can be brilliant but too often isn't.

He wont be one of the best riders in the league, he is inconsistent and will not be a top scorer. A very risky choice but not the only risky choice is this team.

Dont remember him riding for Belle Vue, rode for Reading long time ago

His average is similar to other 3rd heat leaders.

They may get race winners but not away wins.

This is a good team and will make the play offs with ease,Janowski a spent force is a ridiculous comment. Harris has proved over and over again he can do it at this level, he is still a top rider in this league, Kerr is the best reserve, Tungate,Klindt and Wright will all hold their own at least, I think the Oxford track will suit them.

Tungate has a pretty decent average considering we had stronger riders in the league the last time he rode here. I think Oxford are going to have an exciting season with the riders they have chosen.

They have a rider who just won the Australian title, not sure how he can be regarded as a second string, Magic may not be as good as some of the number ones now but he will still do a great job for the team and Bomber is still a heat leader in my view, Klindt is a great gater and will win many races. I think this team are play off certainties.

Yes and if he carries that form over to the Premiership Oxford will have a great season

I would cashout if I were you!

I think he will be, I cant see him getting back to the rider he once was but I think he will be better and could be a very astute signing.

Starke will be better than maybe some think, I am sure he cant be worse than some of the other 4pointers and may prove many wrong.

Yes I would agree with that, better than some that have signed on a similar average.

Pearson got 4 yesterday, does that mean he will get 6 in the championship, difficult to compare scores in a individual competition to scores in a league. Kurtz and Pickering both got 8, does that mean they end up with the same average in the Premiership?

Buster only helps himself shock!!

Lisa said she thinks there was a fan who said it so I don't know why she would need to prove it.

You maybe right but having ridden at Ipswich he could be better now at tracks that take a little getting used to.

Personally I think Rew has the potential to be at least as good as Vissing over a season in the championship

Having ridden with Ipswich and been to the premiership tracks, I don't think the Championship tracks should be a problem to Rew.

Exciting times at Oxford this season, who wouldn't want to watch Bomber, Maciej and Charles Wright every week, might be tempted to visit myself and watch the occasional Premiership meeting.

As he hasn't ridden here for so long then re-assessed on a 8 point average would be fair. I think it is fantastic he is riding here and I will try to see him ride as much as possible, he was always a pleasure to watch.

Rew would be better in my view, he is likely to improve over the season, Vissing will not.

Maybe Rew can be tempted to ride in the Championship with Workington, i would have thought having Keynan and Tate in the same team would be good for team spirit.

I believe you have to ask for the reduction, as Maciej hasn't ridden here since 2015, a reasonable request I would have thought. Riders like Chris Holder or Tai wouldn't have requested a re-assessment as they would have been re-assessed upwards.

Any team not fully announced yet is probably scratching around for cheap alternatives.
