I'm surprised they even made a statement.

Their approach to the whole licence fiasco has been to refuse to explain, discuss or justify their autocratic actions. Now they paint their withdrawal of the board as being our fault for abusing it. I don't see abuse being within the remit of licence payers demanding to know what and why things are being done for their supposed benefit.

This is typical high-handed Parker BS and as such I don't thnk you will ever get a response from the man however many emails or registered letters you send. His arrogance is staggering and I said he would be trouble when he got to the top of the ACU having wrested top class racing from the ACU's hands in the past with his friends in the MCRCB.

As long as he remains in the ACU and the ACU controls the sport it is going to go further and further away from its roots as a sport and more and more towards being a profitmaking scheme for certain individuals, with the money coming in no small part out of the riders' pockets.
