Ashworth Over Looked Why ?

...but you can't use the arguement if he is in the PL then he should be overlooked.

I can. And I have. And I'm not saying he 'should' be overlooked as if it's some sort of snub to the PL, I'm saying 'will be overlooked' simply because he is not proving himself as being worthy of a team place in terms of the opposition he can and is beating. Seriously until he rides full time in the EL for a period of time. mixing with and beating the level of riders he would be up against in an international competition (as Havvy and Stoney have done in their careers) then he will not get considered. We'll see what his intentions at are the end of this season. If he stays PL again I'll rest my case - his EL performances last year were nowhere close to SWC standard. But here he is another year down the line when the likes of the Lindbacks, Lindgrens etc who are younger than him are already riding on the world stage. That to me says ambition in my personal definition of the word. Others may not agree but it's just my opinion.

 

It's a pointless argument anyway, no-one other than the expected top 5, maybe 6 will get a look in for a team place through the tournament at all.

Ricky really need a world class engine tuner if he is to progress. I've heard that Brian Kargerdigan is the one in favour at the moment!

Cheers Dave.

Without enough sponsorship, no rider can afford to have the best engines, and have them tuned by the best people, unless the rider has a rich Dad(or Mum)

The costs involved to be competitive are huge. Plenty of lads have the talent, but give up due to lack of funding.
