Nickle and a Dime GP in England

[chunder]

I agree about Sheene actually, but he saw in the Aussies what I say and thats not necessairly anymore talent than British riders, but more drive and determination.

I cant believe that we havent got a Doohan, Rainey or Schwantz in the UK somewhere, but we have got riders that have come to the sport and not had the drive to really make it work, I know of many riders who ahve given up eiethr through lack of money or a circumstance change.

BAyliss was very wild when he first came over and wasnt a regular winner til the second year, same as Richards and Vermuelen. Chris was good but no better than Moodie and Crawford, dont think he actually ever won a SS race over here.

But because SHeene was there and getting them exp[osure they get the breaks, yes they worked for them, but there is clearly a certain rose tinted glasses thing about Aussie riders in world racing.

Its to their credit that the situaiton is like that, but I dont think theya re any more talaneted than us, Italians or Spanish, not anymore anyway, maybe 10 years ago, but not anymore.
