undoubtedly the best rider out there, and probably the best rider of all time, but i still think he should be made to ride the Scottish i know he will probably win his skill on a trails bike are that good, but all the factory riders of the past came and rode the Scottish six day's.I just think the modern crop of factory riders should do the same, i know raga rode a few years back and Cabestany rode a couple of years ago, but he only rode to get a feel of the sections up in Scotland before the world round, after all the riders are getting paid to ride the best trials in the world and i do think the Scottish is the best trial in the world!!!
