Has to be more to it when Riss for the injured Kerr fits in a straight swap. Yes a bit of a strange decision, Klindt is a far better rider than Riss so must be more to it than meets the eye. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heathen52 385 Posted April 16 The Birmingham track is predominantly a gaters track and we all know Nicolai is primarily a gater, horses for courses maybe ?, Klindt for Milik or Lampart, as someone else said Klindt for Lampart keeps Cook at reserve for longer, whereas Klindt for Milik gives Brum a bit more wriggle room to bring in the top end rider that they badly need, personally I would offload Milik he is 30 and aint going to get any better, whereas Lampart is 22 and could still improve. I have no idea what they will do but Oxford are not messing around whereas Brum who badly need strengthening up appear to be dithering yet again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The riders will know that "talent" is in short supply, in both leagues, so many would think they are "bomb proof".. The reality of course is that even if you get binned by one club, invariably another will want your services, given that lack of a talent pool due to running 7 man teams.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been happily living in stropshire ,his 2 girls are at school here,one of them famous for doing a question and answering video with dad.BUT as you said he is going to be snapped up by another club and putting two and two together i get a feeling ..........

marko 956 Posted April 16 Could it be money orientated? Maybe Riss will accept a lower guarantee or per point value? Running three teams doesn’t come cheap so maybe they are cutting their cloth accordingly, especially if a rider is scoring well below what his guaranteed points money equates to.

Technik 491 Posted April 16 In the home meetings Klindt has been far from his best & I think that come the end of the month the averages would put him at reserve. weather thats good or bad I don't know but if he was employed to score points at home & he ain't doing it then change it up if you can. Points win prizes & with such a small league thats what it's all about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1stbender 19 Posted April 16 Shame to see such early changes especially with Oxford doing relatively well so far this season. I think this is just the start of a merry go round for teams like Oxford, Kings Lynn, Birmingham and possibly Leicester as they did last season. I would say the finances of success are far more lucrative than previous seasons and therefore promotors will chop far quicker than before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,049 Posted April 16 (edited) An alternate view of the change regarding guests. Now like most people, I'm not a fan of guests but agree they are a "necessary evil". One of my biggest bugbears about them is there's no incentive whatsoever to sign a replacement, when guests are allowed. Now we have a team (Oxford) with an injured rider (Kerr) and a willing replacement (Riss) but they've decided to instead to replace Klindt because they'd rather use guests. So is there a rule / should there be a rule where the BSPL / SCB say to Oxford, you can't drop Klindt just because you'd prefer to use guests? Would be different if Riss didn't fit for Kerr obviously. I almost feel like "why should Oxford be allowed a guest, when they could easily change the team & not need one"?

szkocjasid 3,049 Posted April 16 Now Nicholls os guesting I can understand why they chose not to use Klindt & Riss. But I also think if they kept Klindt, they could've used Nicholls at reserve. So is Nicholls (top 5) with Riss (reserve) stronger than Klindt (top 5) with Nicholls (reserve)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilly 172 Posted April 16 Riss for Klindt is obviously a strange one taken in isolation, surely another change is on the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
