Never trust a talent however good they are if they are stuck in the mindset of retirement/break/comeback from the sport as they'll always let you down

Thats a bit of a tough statement on jack as a lot of folk dont know what his private life has entailed over the past few years & he will come back with a bang this year as he is just getting a few things sorted for his comeback & what ive heart he is well up for the challenge ahead

I hope he does very well as he certainly has the talent, my point though about him was meant more as a generalisation that riders who constantly need a break etc are always a gamble as they can leave the team in the lurch, Though plenty of teams are far to quick to drop an under performing rider

Find it  quite sad you are happy to write off a young lad without any knowledge of his circumstances.

Well he left Redcar with no warning and then after they signed a replacement, asked for his job back!

My post is a generalisaton, for example i don't know off the top of my head how many young British riders have taken a break from the sport at the drop of a hat in the last 5 seasons.  I do know however that its far too many, so what are the reasons

Money or lack of it

Too much pressure and/or fear of failure

Fear due to having a few big getoffs so now worried about another painful injury

The UK policy on non competitive sports etc as you don't want to upset children who lose the egg and spoon race, who then get totally confused by seeing their parents doing the same race like their lives depended on it, 30 minutes later that day

Professional junior, nice signwritten van and a bit of eyecandy on the arm

Drugs/Alcohol

For what its worth to encourage young British riders i think there should be a ruling, foreign rider comes in on say an assessed 4 point average, his teambuilding average should never drop below that figure, but his GSA should be what his riding position is based on.
