Who are the Rising Stars?

Recommended Posts

I’ll say it again, it is beggars belief a good idea that should have been so simple to implement has turned into an absolute car crash already. Wait until 2022 when the grades are revised and promotors try and shoe horn in certain riders then. What a mess.

So, who issued the list without checking it? (See Birmingham thread)

I repeat.... What a shambles.

In fairness riders do have until the 15th respond to whether they want to be included so no need to panic just yet it's only the 11th

Why they felt the need to release the list when they have is beyond me...

Ya right Phil and to be fair I have been one of those detractors as I am not struck on the proposal... however its in and I do hope every club gives it a good go to try and make it work... next year I would suggest will be the make or break of the proposal; and ultimately if it doesn't work folks on the other side cant get the opportunity to say it only failed because there was no "good will" to make it work... if that makes sense? it needs to be embraced fully...

It needs to to be given a good run to see how it pans out... if it works out great and if it falls flat then there is always the next daft idea for us to moan about...

your right in your assessment i have said all along year one is a fudge due to certain teams demanding they kept previous unused team where ever possible. year two will be the deciding factor . only time will tell

My personal opinion is the ratings were set at the levels they are so teams in the main could keep the riders they had already signed . I do believe it's a good thing going forward though as long as the clubs stick to the spirit of it and don't start manipulating it.
