Look, I've no doubt that Andy has helped Tom - otherwise he wouldn't still be there would he.

My point was just that everyone was making out that CSS was responsible for Luthi being so fast.

My personal view, looking at the available evidence (I think I've investigated more than most - I'll assume that though) is that Tom was already fast before. Maybe Andy just helped him stop crashing - who knows? Nobody can answer that, not even Tom or Andy, coz we'd never know what would have happened had they not met.

Based upon some email and phone call disscussions with Andy, i can tell you that Andy can tell you in quite concise detail what was wrong with Luthi's riding and how he improved him, so much so that when Luthi rang Andy and told him he'd qualified badly, Andy could tell me why and what corner before Luthi even told him...

he was actually correct.

It was to do at that time with 'blind' corners and picking out observation markers for positioning and braking/turning.

So Tom Luthi would never have won a world title if he hadn't been coached by Andy?

God knows mate... i'm just trying to answer the questions viable.... not complete conjecture.
