She deserves a top rider. Contreras isn’t one. It’s an easy choice.

Wayne's attitude has always been correct. He doesn't owe Contreras anything. He was always going to be one mediocre ride away from getting replaced. Why shouldn't he have been?
It's not like he has given Ethereal Road good rides in his last two races either.
