While others have said that Barkers form is poor ,I use the word disappointing in respect that the number of bike issues he seems to be having is not what you expect from an established No 1 rider IMO and it reflects in his average.Its fine to talk about his fabulous passes in Heat 15 but what about the races that he is not winning that you would expect from a No1.who looks after his equipment this year is it himself ,as I know he lost a major sponsor regarding his equipment.I would never dispute his commitment in a race but at times you feel does not have the fastest bike in the race.It will be interesting when the better Teams roll up who he will be passing in Heat 15 if he misses the gate.We have got a decent team on paper now, but unfortunately Claus will be hard too replace if he is going to be out for a while.
