what you mean like hans and nicki do!! its a gp, they're not meant to work together! they should be good enough to do it on their own, not have to hold each other's hand.
the problem is when the british riders make a bad start to a meeting, especially in the world cup it takes a lot to get them going. plus the team spirit doesn't sound too good, even if denmark had made a bad start, i'm sure the team spirit would have still been there to pull them through it.
it was unfair on simon to put him in the team anyway. he's been struggling all year. its probably his worst season in the elite league and yet he's picked for the world cup, doesn't make sense even if it is at coventry.
