Disappointing to see such a talent rider feeling like this (blush)

Not good, to be talking like that in front of camera confirms he's not making any progress with the team. I guess they think they know best and he's just the jockey; different riders are happy with utterly different bikes to one another, and it doesn't sound like they've grasped that fact yet. Can't see why they don't set it up like he wants it and if he goes slower or faster it'll settle the question.

ive read a few bike racer auto/biographies and this is a common thing going back years. it always seems that the manufacturer/team owner/head mechanic always thinks they know best/want glory for what they think is right, without rider input as they (the rider) is just deemed as the jockey.
