771neil 31 Posted July 18, 2008 How about chris louis at least he can talk to riders and understand there problems and may know how to sort them, i know he says he has to much on but he s at all the meeting with sky, he would also use joke better than lynch because he would have known that scott struggled in second ride and that gate 1 was not working that well.

Don't disagree about Chris Louis, but as a rider Nicholls should have known about gate 1 and advised Lynch, if he was unaware. The fault cannot be Lynch's alone, the rider, chasing head lines in the press should also take some criticism. Lynch's biggest fault was to have a captain with an ego problem. For his first two meetings under pressure, like he was, with the riders he has at he's disposal IMO he did quite well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BritPete 625 Posted July 18, 2008 Lynch was well aware of gate one being poor....after all, he told us as much just after he nominated, Nicholls for a TR! Just about every British fan must have being wondering why he made such a silly move! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
