brandonbee48 1,194 Posted October 27, 2011 Should the Elite league here introduce a compulsary u21 British rider next season ?-I was wondering if someone could post how the rules work with the u21 riders in the top flight Polish and Swedish leagues. I absolutely think the UK should have at least one UK born Under 21 in each team. I'll leave it to our respective Polish and Swedish correspondents, but i thought it was both in Poland and at least one Swedish Under 21 reserve there. You have to be patient and let them sink or swim, otherwise you get embarrassing (to the UK) World Under 21 series dominated by Poles,Russians, Swedes and Danes. I await the blasts from the UK posters! Regards. Alan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree we should have one u21 british rider in each team-obviously Poland have the 2 reserves as u21 Poles but i`m not so sure that the Swedish u21 is always at reserve.

racers and royals 8,725 Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks to Ghostwalker`s excellent Swedish 2012 thread i can answer my own question as regards Sweden. 1 u21 rider per line-up can ride anywhere in team minimum 3 rides per meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So both Poland and Sweden , the two strongest leagues, realise you have to give the young riders the opportunity to develop. Then the Elite league teams grab them on a 4 and further aid their development and we then end up with only one British GP rider and for the 2012 series of the Under 21s we have ???????. Just common sense to me. Regards. Alan. Edited October 28, 2011 by brandonbee48 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brandonbee48 1,194 Posted October 28, 2011 Going slightly "off-thread" on this topic, but one of the things i love about watching Polish matches is the anticipation of watching the 4 young reserves come out for heat one and, especially on a rain affected track, seeing the "harum-scarum" antics on the first bend. I believe we have had one or two friendly bets on here about who would, or would not, exit bend 2! On topic, the World Under 21 series shows the Poles have it right. All the best. Alan.

In case of a tie between one or more riders in the final overall classification, a run-off will decide the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. For all other placings, the better-placed rider in the last final meeting will be the betterplaced rider. Just found this, thought it would be of interest. Alan.
