“He has done a brilliant job for us in the past, and I don’t think we have seen the best of him yet.” Gilkes himself said: “I was blown away by how the club is run when I guested last year. “Everyone just gets stuck in and is available to help if you need anything.
“The fans at Oxford are fantastic. I have always been so warmly received when riding for or against Oxford and I honestly can’t wait.” On the additions of Knudsen and McDiarmid, Schroeck said: “Jonas is another young up and coming rider who has shown great form at times, and at just 16 years old, Mitch is a young man very much in demand.
“I am sure he will settle in really quickly with Sam, Cameron and Luke to support him.”.
