Maybe but not intentionally anyway. The major difference even from a decade ago is an awful lot are not on their footrests, it's their flailing legs that makes them look busy on the bike. Many argue they can react better to direction change off the footrest & it's easier to get off the machine if it lifts. As been mentioned before, a lower Horse Power, lower RPM, increased Torque would see riders more controlled & back on their footrests. The issue for me (especially in Poland) is that Zmarzlik has become the Poster-Boy for that 'Wild Style' and riders of significantly lower ability think they can do the same without mastering the basics.

They do NOT take risks for our entertainment. They have a job to do, which is racing motorcycles. Which is dangerous. The better they do, the more they get paid, and therefore, they take risks. It has nothing to do with entertaining us.

Can pull out of a guest booking with no recourse so Kyle won’t have a suspension

They are getting good gaurenteed money for just turning up though, they don’t have try a leg if they can’t be bothered it’s just very good pocket money.Probably pays their Mechanics and Tuners wages for the season.                                              

Looking at the rolling averages, Howarth will be at reserve next month. He’s not actually riding badly but Kemp has made such a great start to the season. Kyle will hopefully fill his boots at No.6. I can see Morris having stint in that berth as well before too long.

But surely Glasgow are better than that? I think they are owed a big performance but to be honest I'm not expecting it to be on Wednesday. In fact I'm not really expecting them to be in the play-offs this year, Edinburgh and Plymouth look more dangerous to me, the question is who will be the fourth team? Verdict for Wednesday is Poole 50+.
