Kevin Meynell 2 Posted July 21, 2004 (edited) For the Euro Cup:- what about regenal teams like top flight rugby in Wales, up to 5 regenal teams in the uk (Elite teams in pairs) and simular in Poland & Sweeden etc It's worth considering, but I don't think supporters would really get behind regional teams in the same manner as their own. There isn't really any sense of regional identity in most parts of Britain. I would select a number of club sides from each country who would ride in the European Cup/League each season unless relegated. The highest-placed team in each national league that was not already in the competition, would replace the relegated teams. The competition would therefore be run separately to the national leagues, but teams would still be there on merit. It would also get around the problem of adopting a 'UEFA Champions League'-style approach, which can't really work while riders compete for multiple teams.
