Cook is till a decent No1,maybe not as dominant but he had avery high standard to maintain.Ulle is the major problem as 2nd Heat leader ,just not performing most of the time.Nicol has just lost the plot career going backwards don’t think many seen that coming.
The Sport really is starting to crack at the seams.Struggle to run meeting due to staffing levels is not good news.(Mostly volunteers)
Lack of Paramedics is a real concern as the situation on that front is not going to improve quickly,and is a major headache( apart from expense).

It’s been dead as credible Sport for years,but it really just getting ridiculous now.Every Team working the rules to their advantage at every opportunity.Young riders coming into sport have been stifled from moving forward now that Team can even get guests for reserves.
Your right no idea where the riders will come from.They aren’t interested about riding in UK for little money.Newcastle probably should have dropped down a league,when they realised the riders weren’t interested for the money on offer.
