I could not agree more with Paul's comments about Shaun Harris, he is one of the most exciting racers in recent times to take on pure road circuits and adds a much needed world class calibre presence to any race meeting he enters.
Riders who are prepared to up sticks and travel half way round the world and have the burning desire to race on road circuits (and succeed) and elsewhere do not need less informed hedgespotters and "enthusiasts" casting aspersions on character and credibility...I have nothing but respect for any of the Antipodian as well as foreign racers who do add so much colour and excitement to a race entry over here.
