I tend to disagree only on the speed issue, riders find it harder to control the bikes on todays U.K. tracks which are not well prepared hence ruts and holes forming and build up of shale.
I know circumstances are not likely to change as like everything in this world technology goes forward, but for our sport it creates dire circumstances the riders and supporters both suffer. So it’s a no win situation. Is there any wonder why our sport Is dying a slow death.
