dont think its inexplicable at all
he wants to stand on his own two feet independently of his family which which is fair enough
a shame for leicester but quite understandable imo
for me the most important thing is that it prevents number seven positions being taken up by foreign riders who arent up to it
would rather have young brits there
naturally its a bit sink or swim but i think it's the right way to go
some people moan about lack of characters and confrontation compared to the 70s though so maybe we should embrace a bit of needle and hoo haa
a little bit of jostling and finger wagging all adds to the atmosphere
maybe it should be encouraged and riders not hammered for getting a bit wound up
its a highly charged sport after all
