Davy Russell says he has "as much respect for Michael O’Leary’s opinion" as the Ryanair boss does for his.
O'Leary stated in an interview which aired earlier this week that he wished the jockey had stayed retired.
Russell, the current leading jockey in Cheltenham Festival history who is still riding, returned to the saddle back in January less than four weeks after he retired from the sport on a winner at Thurles.
