For sure the stats are impressive, and support the point of this season's available road points, yes.

Then again, even 9th out of 16 is just below average, which I wouldn't consider mediocre.

I think the word "mediocre" has a bad rap when it is just a synonym of "average". I don't disagree with his use of the term in this context.

Meh. I've always considered that mediocre refers to less than, or below average.

Could be. Do Americans think "mediocre" is negative? I mean, obviously it's not good, but it's not bad either...hence the similarities with "average".

I'm not American, so maybe that's the issue.

Truth be told, I probably wouldn't have changed at 40, or 30 either. Lol.
