Agree,when you watch Polish Div1 and Div2. riders like Douglas and Pickering are good but not Superstars and there’s a lot of young Continental riders coming through as well as the Young Poles.Just look at the U/ 24 league Young Brits are finding it tough going.
If you watch Pickering & Douglas in Poland they are far from the Top.With the Continental riders coming through they will have their work cut out (look how long they have been Championship riders).They probably earn bigger money over there though.(if the get paid).Wish them well whatever they do though they are entertainers.
Fredricksen has been very unlucky with injuries,certainly on a good averages if he could steer clear of injury.Lasse was ok at Ashfield in the GP Challenge a couple of seasons ago.
