I seem to remember a local lad to you winning the youth 125cc world championship twice!! "Multi British Youth Grass Track Champion Kyle Bickley retained his World 125cc crown after scoring a 15-point maximum in the Czech Republic on Saturday following winning the same event last year in Germany." but unfortunately as soon as he progressed from the conference league, "where he was very good" to the 2nd division he struggled big time and eventually retired at a very early age. So I would say being a good youth rider is not a guarantee of turning out world class, but I hope the young English rider William Cairns is as good as they say, because we do need another superstar to be coming through . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree but the same can be said about anyone, doesn't matter their nationality. Bickley didn't have the best mentality out there and to be the best you've got to have a top mentality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outscored a few in the u21 World cup for a few years but I haven't seen his name in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 On the subject of Aussies, there seems to be no shortage of them wanting to come to the UK to race and develop their skills. I would like to think that a lot of this is down to the likes of Jason Doyle (although there may be others) who has always stated that mastering the more technical British tracks is essential for riders at the very top level to have in their skill set. Unlike many Eastern European riders, Aussies are not quitters and will only move on from their team if asked to do so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
