Parker had a clean up op on his knee after the season, so him not running isn't too much of a concern for me. Fun fact, this is the earliest he has ever started a pre-season, even when he was a young guy, because we were always playing finals. I suspect he would have been told to rest up and relax as much as possible. I suspect that would have been the case for a few guys.
Considering Ling's early injury issues I wonder if they're just easing him in.'
Taylor finishing last in the time trial is a surprise. I would expect him to be doing much better. Amartey is still a young big man, they can be slow. What I'd be really interested in knowing is if he improved on his time from last year.
I'm really keen to see how Heeney goes next year. He would have taken a battering the first few seasons of his career and the early rest and full pre-season should treat him well.
