That's possibly unfair on Crump and certainly unfair on Adams - Adams is really showing his worth as a "team leader" with the youngsters at Swindon this season. crump thinks about crump as proved at coventry last year,as for adams,how many times has he turned out in heat 15 this season? some would say he is giving other riders a chance,but truth is he does what he has to, and robs the crowd of seeing a top class heat 15,also you dont see him putting himself out in the pits as hans does. SR - but isn't Crump always on hand in the pits? Even with the spanner himself if need be. And, as for Adams, no he's a top bloke. He was examplary during his two years at Oxford. A great league rider.

What absolute cock you're spouting tonight Stuart.
Adams is a fantastic captain and team leader, his unselfish work in the pits is legendary. Unfortunately you can't see that sat on your Pc!

I spoke with Alun Rossiter over the winter (for the interview he did with the Weird World) and he couldn't praise Adams highly enough, but suggested that maybe last season's Robins (Chrzanowski and Ulamek primarily) just didn't take advantage of having Adams around. I think you can see from this year's Swindon that the management went out and got a group of riders they believed would listen and learn from Adams. I believe that Adams is the main factor in Swindon's excellent start - the likes of Korneliussen and Batchelor are really benefitting from riding in the same team as him.

Unfortunately you can't see that sat on your Pc! no but ive seen him first hand on many occasions. by a process of elimination he may be third best leader in the elite,but its a poor third,a country mile behind hans.

As ably demonstrated by Andersen's vitriol towards young King the other week on TV

Is this why Hans Andersen describes his own team-mate as a third opponent.

Don't scroll down then, Schumi SR - I'm sure the Eastbourne RIDERS did benefit RIDING alongside Nicki - on the few occasions he bothered to turn up

Which is a real pity, because I've seen him at work and he's a bloody excellent leader.
