And you could say the same about Killeen, He was looking real good last year, but Oxford have thrown him in the top league and is most weeks getting hammered which in turn affects his second division racing. Not the same rider as last year. 

I can’t find that but I think it was only the one stint.

Ta for the correction, I remember thinking why return for the International "friendly" but he got injured again before that.  I remember him saying he rode because he didn't feel any pain, but I wonder if he considered "what happens if I fall again"? Obviously riders could crash on any meeting, but if it happens when you've not fully recovered you can keep putting yourself out for longer. I guess Doyle doesn't think about that? Tbh not many riders do.

So wait are you suggesting Glasgow don’t have financial muscle? I’m not going to criticise Glasgow for paying what they feel is worthwhile for riders to put the best team on track but it’s disingenuous from you to suggest they don’t do that. 

How many pennies did you slip into Palmtree's back pocket?

Suddenly I quite like the look of that…..
