I now think it is high time that Hector and Phillip Neill got rid of Archibald and gave their support to a better rider. His two TT wins last year were achieved in "unique" circumstances and I for one firmly believe that if DJ was racing last year then Archie would have won nothing. Equally I think that DJ's death had a profound effect on some top riders who for obvious reasons were not performing to their best. Then we have his antics at the North West this year were he failed to qualify and threatened not to race when offered a back row start. I thought this was a pathetic attempt to blackmail the race organisers. Archie is a top rider and had no excuses for not qualifying his bikes. His team mate was able to do it along with countless privateers who have nowhere near the same financial and technical support. Adrian has grown to big for his boots over recent years. His disgusting treatment of Joeys widow and kids at TT 2002 and blatant snubbing of Davy Wood whilst in hospital may now be coming back to haunt him. He needs to remmber that was it not for Davy Wood, his career path might have proved somewhat more difficult. Racing is a gentlemans sport - just look at all the greats that have graced our sport. Joey, DJ, Mike the Bike - gentlemen one and all. This years star is just the same. Perhaps Archie could learn something from him!!
