Weak excuses.
Sarah checked out all summer as well as Beattie - didnt have the mental minerals/ability to produce what was expected so ducked out
Leonards a serial DNFer - long history of doing it as a youth and stealing GB vests off more deserving athletes who finished XC trial races. I certainly wouldnt have him as the star of the group, a solid Euro XC and road 10km in Jan disguise a poor run of form since
The GB sub-elite dislike this bunch as they have everything on a plate yet constantly moan, and are not producing decent results. The training is to soft which shows in the races yesterday. Rory and Scott would be better off jumping to Ireland and training with Gidey. Obviously hes got Ethiopian genes so they will never be on his level. the soft training under Hobdell is clearly not working for either of them
