Wasn’t an asset so no big deal.Being honest he didn’t show much improvement over the season.He would have been difficult to replace with anyone better during the season with the averages situation.
Cairns(however good he is)has the advantage over previous 16 year olds (Screen,PC and Lee)that he will be racing a different standard of riders so very difficult to compare him with these guys .Wish him well.
Same old,like you say though fans will just lose interest.Hard to see attendances growing much.Must suit the Promotions though.The sport at Championship level is on a slippery slope.
