Hi,
I believe we are witnessing the start of a rising star. The best is yet to come, perhaps only a few years away. He will come of age when he comes out from beneath Stus shadow, but he does need an excellent mentor (definitely not a negative). It will be interesting to see which direction he takes, whether he sticks to the track, road (the tour or the classics). Will he be developed as a cyclist for all seasons??? Even though the Aussie cycling team got done over by the Brits in Beijing, dont despair as we have Jack! I sincerely hope that the AIS finds further support of his caliber for him.
Robert, I took the liberty of starting a new thread for this one, your post might get lost over on the Websites Updates.
It will be interesting to see what young Jack does in the future. Perhaps riding with Jonker, O'Grady and LA last week may be a telling moment in his career, I am sure some advice would have been bandied around. How good would it have been to have been a fly on the handlebars of that ride/conversation. Maybe he'll reference that particular ride one day in the future.
Then again, maybe he won't.
