Plenty of what ifs during a year but the results stand because the top 3 actually did it regardless  |
After my years in racing I know all about what ifs and Phils 3rd place Championship trophy was well deserved. But with Mike and Clint not being able to make the final round at Cadwell due to DSL closing I was actually expecting Phil to get a podium finish in at least one of the races and I'm not sure why he didn't. Was it that there were seven faster riders out there, or was it that there were seven faster bikes out there or maybe it was because there were seven bikes out there with better brakes. |
I'm sorry but this is absolute rubbish, you can only race who is there. Saying if x y and z were there the finishes would be different is nonsense. Maybe Phil knew exactly how many points he needed and rode appropriately at Cadwell ?
The only way better brakes would help is if Phil was pulling on his and just couldn't stop any more so was having to brake early to compensate, I doubt this was happening tho'
