No idea about Jaksch, but heard many stories about Gorringe. Sounds like a real class act! If May is hanging around him, It can't be a good thing.Worse than coming last in the TT, being over weight or drinking while injured is that he was hanging out with Jaksch and Gorringe.
Was he looking for a mentor to show him how to waste hus talent?
If I were Melbourne I'd be telling him to steer clear of those two.
