All the speculation about Thorssel & Nillson fizzled out ? So if we're in negotiations with a "third heat leader" does that mean an over the hill Zagar is expected to be our Number 2 ?  

Won a couple of world championships then turned his back on the UK. Has shown many times he has little respect for others and thinks he is above everyone.

He's also a bit of a "thug" who has very little respect for others,he is just one of several successful sportsmen who show total disregard for the rules & the people involved in the sport that gives them their living. Ronnie O'sullivan & Max Verstappen are two more examples.

"We have scoured the globe, left no stone unturned, etc etc etc"... "However no one was prepared to race over here at the moment, (and we asked some very top level riders)".. "Therefore, we have signed (fill in second string level riders name here), and feel that he, like the rest of the team, can put a point on their averages"... "Teams with strength in depth can often be very successful, Peterborough for example etc etc etc ." ..

Heard from a mate who has a source that there  could be news soon.

but who also won multiple wc's and helped revolutionise team gb and turn it into a winning side
