Because to get to the top of any game you need to have a ruthless streak. It takes a certain type of person. To think that the pro riders are all doing this for the love of it is naive, it's a hard game and many are fuelled by success and money.

Agree totally Scarlett.
 
You could argue here that the ruthless streak was dumping one owner that has supported you and quote treated you like the family for years and helped you get where you are for a better offer, but that doesn't men you would swindle them for large sums of money!

The timing of it still stinks of sour grapes, as why if true have they only just noticed now are they really that loose with their cash, the claim goes back years!

Time will tell. Or perhaps it won't

Maybe.

Or maybe during the dissolution of their business agreement with BM, they/their accountants noticed something amiss and that's what prompted them to look into all sales?
 
Was reading his defence in H & H and was hoping for something more than just counter arguments tbh. If he is saying he is owed money why wait years and the defence of court action before highlighting this. Most people would expect to be paid what's owed in a timely fashion surely . It has come across as tit for tat. You owe us money no you owe me money . I bet nothing is in a contract anywhere and hopefully it'll settle out of court because otherwise some poor judge is going to have to decipher all this with presumably very little proof from either side . Am assuming that as no report mentions breach of contract etc etc. if he was there agent maybe it comes down to a duty of care thing that as an agent you act in your clients best interests .

I think he is saying he has been paid, with the money that his old owners are now claiming he kept back from them .
Agree pity any judge though
