World U21 Team Final Rybnik Saturday 2nd September Live On Internet

Recommended Posts

Our boys aren't idiots. They didn't come home believing nothing was wrong. And they're not that bad either.

This is what we're been saying about sending our best out there to learn their their trade. If others had better engines or better sponsorship or a hand from their older "friends", our boys will learn. It's not a level playing out there. Riding for Sheffield in the Championship one night and riding in a World Championship event a couple of nights later, is not the same thing. We'll go back better prepared next time and the time after that we'll be close to a win. That's how this works. We have the talent, now we need the experience.

But they also must've gone over there knowing their equipment was inferior? Years ago riders used to 'hire' engines from tuners for specific big meetings, does this not happen any more and if it does was it out of reach cost wise for our boys?

Robert Lambert won the U21 Euro championship a fortnight ago against many of the same field. Adam Ellis rides regularly in Poland. The Poles may well have better equipment, but I think that is too much of a convenient excuse to explain why we performed so poorly compared to Australia and Denmark.
