They are good riders but not at the level many thought they would be after they left the under 21 brigade. Kvech is another that is finding life difficult with the big boys. Not they won't make the top, but it often takes longer time then some want to see. Cierniak in two years time may be good, but the way Zmarzlik rides today I think Cierniak will be some way behind. Indeed. Look at Leon Madsen - was already 30 when he became a GP regular. Or Lindgren heading for a career best finish at age 38. At the other end Crump, Woffinden and Artem Laguta all struggled when they were introduced to the GP relatively early.
