I really dont believe the state of the track was the root cause of the problem.I believe the Danes provide their riders with better backing finacially.Are Bjarne Pedersen,Bjerre and Iversen really that much faster around Brandon than Nicholls and Harris.Only when provided with the equipment to do so.I can't remember seeing pedersen and Bjerre passing that many opponents in league racing.Didn't Mark Loram say afew years ago that it cost him money to compete in the World Cup?
