9pm the day before seems ample time to get ready to me, when the meeting wasn't on until the evening - unless he has a full-time regular job which he couldn't get out of?
Good riddance I'd say - the meeting at Foxhall showed where his skills are lacking. There also seems to be too much will he won't he ride discussions about him.
Agreed but they could still say who was unavailable, people may understand better - all the Lynn management will know, Phil Morris will know, others at the BSP will know, why can't we?
They haven't said that though have they, just rider unavailability, for all we know it could've been four or five of them missing but as usual there's no honesty. If there was, I could be empathetic.
