Whether we should be field a younger team is up for debate and equally I think Tom Brennan deserves his place in the team ahead of Ellis. The only way the likes of Brennan, Palin and even Kemp are going to get better is by gaining more experience by riding against the best from other countries.

I'm reminded of a pairs event last season, Denmark sent Kevin juhl pedersen and mads Hansen. Britain sent Harris.
