im sick of all this slating british riders so heres my view on things
to me i feel really sorry for them both, nicholls is alot better rider than his scores suggewst, hes just had a couple of duff years, he needs a few years away from the GP series and come back a better stronger rider, just likle lee richardson, look how good hes riding now after a few years away from the big time. i feel really sorry for him especially half way through the season when he looked so dejected and diddnt know why he couldnt even score a point, he now klnows hes not going to be in the GP series next year so is calm and relaxed.
regarding harris well his biggest down fall is Ole Olsen, harris is a rider who cant gate but probably is the best rider when behind, the tracks are to slick for a rider like harris, hopefully with this being olsens last year we may see harris in the top 8 next year if oles replacment sorts the tracks out and puts shale on them.
i rate all british riders and there the 1st i support in GPs, we need to get behing our own riders and not against them, afterall its them that will bring home a world title to this country.
for me next year the 2 wildcards should be harris and lee richardson/tai woffinden
