How do you know what financial arrangement he has with the team? For all we know, he could be paying them.Back in your box fanboy!
But seriously, its has nothing to do with knowing how hard it is to qualify. It has everything to do with all the privateers who qualify week in and week out and still pay for their own racing(Case in point, Tracy Hannah a few years ago). They're not hating and neither am I, the fact of the matter is that he's on a world cup team, and when you're on a world cup team it's your responsibility to hold up your end of the bargain. And that happens to be, at the very minimum, to qualify. Its nothing personal against the guy but I know one or two guys that have qualified at every world cup they've raced and in many cases placed well and the don't have someone else paying for them.
It just doesn't make sense for a rider who is exhibiting mediocre performance to have a ride when there are so many younger, faster guys out there who have the potential to be up at the top in a few years. Guys that actually perform(much like Troy Brosnan has). And I'm sure theres more out there who deserve a ride.
She certainly seems to be!Is Ragot getting faster? Can she be a challenge for a healthy Rachel Atherton?
He was 12th in Schladming last year. He seems to be very good on technical trails.Pekoll must have been killing it!! Never even heard of him before
