stevehone 3,430 Posted February 6, 2023 Didn’t he up his average by 2 points or something for Poole? the PR and magazines etc is done by one of his sponsors, and yes, financially he was held back this year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said his lack of progress when he has talked of doing so much more is also a factor! He is progressing though.! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is whether they have the work ethic or do they just want things to fall in their laps without effort? Has he believed his own hype & gained a stinker of an ego? Got to say that I haven't seen this "talent" people talk about. He certainly isn't up there with Woffinden, Lambert, Bewley at a young age. Completely agree just an ok rider imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Froglord 7 Posted February 8, 2023 The other guy missing a spot is Anders Rowe, who did extremely well in the Polish U24 league last year. Such a shame for young UK talent to be left on the sidelines... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
