Ash, don't be to hard here, beaten 8m and had a flat tyre. How close would he had been without it?
For what is worth and I've followed Trigger his whole career, 3200m is not his best distance but still remains competitive.
Providing he remains competitive and he wants to race, whats the harm, Lance is the best judge on this. After all, who of the current group win every start or placed every start.....None and no question of them giving it away.
