Probably fair to say that if they wanted to know the score, they only have to ask the team manager. In my brief experience of being spanner man for an Ipswich rider some years back, it was clear that many riders had no idea of the score and were more interested in how their next gate position was working. The aim is nearly always to score as many points as possible, and knowing the score is unlikely to influence that aim...
Having watched Prem lge regulary for the past few years, you may find the racing is just as good, if not better than the Elite. It's certainly very competitive, and the Elite looks very poor, quality wise this year. I'm looking forward to Prem racing personally..
Pete was obviously not happy being a CL yes man, who can blame him. Family connections obviously outweigh the good intentions of a loyal team manager..
