Might he still feel the after effects of this move away from the Aus cycling clique today?
I had some correspondence with Dave Towle from America, he was managing O'Neil (i think i read he has a new manager) and he seemed to intimate that he was not happy with the lack of acknowledgement that O'Neil gets from the Aus cycling community.
