Youngsters thrashing around without guidance will take a lot longer to get where they want to be. If a group of youngsters are getting thrashed by full strength opponents at home, it doesn't please the home crowd who might withdraw their support as some fans insist on a victory whenever possible. Old hands can give advice with riding lines and bike preparation, and also give the give team a lift with their encouragement and experience.

Not necessarily, maybe he doesn't want a full season of NL, but just a few extra meetings to fill his calendar? Maybe Armadale won't want him in their plans, maybe they've already got their team together, who knows... It's just a bit of fun putting a team or two together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically Sarjeant isnt going to get better.. NL should be for riders who are on an upward curve not riders looking for easy pay days.. i dont agree with Ledwith either for whats it worth.. as far the experience thing what have riders like Clegg/Sarjent achieved in the sport that would make them worth listening to.. id rather see riders like Flint etc at Newcastle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
