Feelers were going out after KK had done about 3 meetings. It can take time when you try and bring a rider of Artem's quality in. I would imagine there all sorts of things that need sorting. After our last meeting on the Thursday 8th, Alex said.......
The engine room is where we’re lacking, and it’s something that will have to change. There will definitely be a change in time for Belle Vue away on Monday, there are some things to build on, and hopefully there will be a reaction again.”
He isn't wasting much time imho. You still ain't replaced NP, and where's Tungate.
I did say try , in my defence " Well that's obvious. But he don't wait months until he tries to strengthen the team, unlike some."
Artem strengthens us, but we are probably another 2 riders short in the engine room (after Mondays change) to start winning regularly imho. As for the money side of it, you might well be right.
