I won't disagree with that. And I don't even care for Alex Solis, however he has had a better career than Borel, it's not even close, and has always been a better day to day rider than Borel.

What kind of career would Borel have had if he had been riding in So. Cal? I think we can both agree not very good.

But I also think you are underrating Solis. The guy won 6 straight meets in So Cal from Hollywood Spring of '96 to Hollywood Spring on '97. I'm not really sure how the 5th-12th best rider in the room is able to pull something like that off, but he must've had a hell of an agent.

I liked Chavez before he forgot how to ride, so I'd have to look at what his career looks like.
