I think it's less to do with equipment, although his is not the best, but more to do with a mental block if things are going wrong. He seems to lose his head completely, which is a shame as he's not a bad rider.

Should never be accepted. Should request the rider get a 28 day ban for withholding their services & get a guest!

Kemp is very frustrating - when on Thompson's engine at Foxhall he was superb but last night total toilet.  I get that the track was balder than Right Said Fred and offered almost nothing but his gating was so bad.

The key is 2.4% share ITV4 look for 2% plus. Advertisers are generally only interested in live viewers as its assumed those that timeshift a programme fast forward through the ads. The issue is the demographics are highly unattractive for mainstream advertisers. To old, to male and to poor.

Might this see young Polish riders coming to ride in the Premiership next year to aid their development. Older supporters may remember an influx of young Swedes in 1967 with Michanek, Harryson and Holmquist all coming over

I now fully understand some of the criticism from some Leicester supporters about Drew Kemp. You can excuse riders having an absolute stinker of a meeting (every rider has them) if they’re seen as still making an effort, but twice last night he just gave up whilst at the back. That would do my head in if he was in my team.    His attitude is poor.
