But if you stop riders like Jenkins being a "rising star" it makes the list of options even weaker, while many say it's too big a step?

If that's the case all 7 "rising stars" should be Jenkins, Edwards, Flint standard etc.

Shouldn't be about ability,should be age.

16-21.

Josh Bates was a rising star a 26.

There is never any consistency in decision making. Another 26 year old Brit wouldn't be allowed on it.

Whole system is a joke.

That was a shocking performance by Oxford, a team of 6/7 pointers at home should not be losing to a team of 7 pointers by 14 points!

Some decent racing on a slick and dusty track though.

Does anyone know if they switched the water bowser on when it went round on the track grade ? 

Yes but some supporter flushed the toilet and left the hand basin running so the water pressure was low when trying to fill the bowser tank.

Great result,glad I paid for the stream at the last moment now🙂.They all chipped in and done their bit although there is still room for improvement from a couple imo.

Special mention for Jody Scott,beat his opposing rising star,that is more than we can ask for.It's nice to see him still trying when he is at the back.

Howarth was the man with his points won Lynn the match. Down to a guest.

Cook and Killeen I'm afraid, 1 point from 2 home riders, just not good enough

Every rider in the side is riding out of position due too atrocious team building

You've hit the nail on the head there. I was looking at Magic's score of 7, which ain't bad for a number 2... he ain't a number 2 though, should be 1 the way he finished last season with his experience.

Wasn’t there a few 6 pointers in the Stars team, that did rather well?. No chance of winning, you said

Hands up I got it wrong. Didn’t think the guest would get that amount of points

Agreed, can't blame Schroeck's tactics today. Team just isn't strong enough, we all know that anyway, but racing another team that everyone thinks "isn't strong enough" and losing by 14 points at home is pitiful!

Rob Lyon on his interview in the Bsn booth stated he thinks Richard Lawson is the best rider suited for the number one slot, and he only gets four points. Although on this occasion he did match Charles Wright who got four also.
