IMO this should have been his year, he is first to admit last year was so hard on him and he could have won this years comfortably if he had gone for it..300 less rides than Sir Paul Hanaghan and only 22 rides behind...respect he wants to preserve himself and had a great season, apart from Buick won more than anyone else in win money and to a £1 stake up £58..overall won most prize money including place...good write ups in RP and with the legend of Mr.Hannon with him, he could be my new Philip Robinson..has lots of knockers but although it has taken many years I am starting to warm to him..
