Its still not exactly a tough life... id be happy to trade careers with a back marker let alone a front runner

Must suck to be him, but he does whinge (must be an new-gen Aussie thing) and he's not amazing or from a country with a large enough population to make any investment worth while.

that sucks .. always good to see aussies up there having a go .. wonder if he will try get into aussie championships and have a race still?

Haydens neither of the above Or Edwards for that matter!
