Your talking about a  completely different Era though.Not remotely near the same standard of riders about.

Why would they? Their only goal is to assemble a winning team. And being part of a winning team is essential development. What more are you suggesting they do?

Looking like the averages game will get the better of a few riders - no wonder the sport is in decline!

And ultimately Poland!

A very strong reserve pairing who will continue steady progression. I think Hagon will end up being the strongest reserve. He could end up putting a couple of points on his average after being in the main team this year. He could end up causing himself issues for 27. I hope he doesn’t end up in a similar situation Hook has found himself in.

Big year for Jan, should be looking for an average closer to 8 than 7
