After a couple of rides you had as much as half the field out of contention. In a GP it's far from easier, firstly because of the reason you have used to suggest its easier to score, the semi finals... it means much more of the field has something to race for.. And even without the semi-finals, every single pt in every single race counts towards their overall season end standing. There's no slacking of or just dialing it in as it all counts. Even now Witcher at least six riders have no chance of winning a final,,and that is being honest.No different to being in the old format really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logic and Fact really so sorry Chunky don't see you have displayed that much in your recent post's. Tried to be adult with you call a truce try to move on with you but you are not interested your call I suppose. Please read - and try to understand - what I write! There is no need for a truce, because we are not at war. You are just offended by every post I make that offers an opinion that differs from yours, and you get insulting. Virtually every post I make on here is based on logic, reason, and fact, from Woffinden vs Lee, to Jansson not being one of the top five or six riders in the world at the time of his death. You need to accept that your opinion is NOT gospel, and you are not being an adult by calling me a Muppet, and accusing me of saying things that I didn't.

Again Sid, that is completely false. You're so far out with that statement it's staggering. Out of last year's starting field the ONLY one you could possibly put an argument together for would be Lambert. It is completely different to the old format for the reasons I described to you. Every race means something to every rider.. the only exceptions might come in the final round or two of the season when for some it would be like... you guessed it, an old style World Final they can't win.

It is different, because the old system was never intended to get best riders in the world to the world final, and it was never close to doing that. The GP system IS designed to include the best riders in the world, and you have - at the very least - 13 of the best 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
