Mark Lemon Testimonial 18/09 At Somerset

[oldtimer 340]

I'm with SCB on this one. Whilst it's still a fantastic lineup, the fans see team events like this week in week out and with the sort of riders Lemo has managed to get to ride, it should definitely be run along the lines of the Grand Prix format with 16 riders all having 5 rides each, racing against every rider once with a grand final come the end for the four highest points scorers.

 

Shame really, as it's looking like a great lineup.

It's no good making it an individual event because of the vast difference between riders like Crump and Zagar and also some big names yet to be announced riding against what would be Elite League reserves like Johno, Kramer and Gathercole. With a team event all points count and therefore it's more interesting than having races where it's obvious who is going to win.

But nobody cares if Australia or rest of the World wins. So looking at it your way, why bother? Either way you get Crump, Zagar and PK vs Johno, Kramer and Gathercole but in an individual you get Crump, Zagar and PK racing each other, now, Zagar and PK won't bother nor will Johno or Gathercole.

 

Why doe sit mater if Krammer does beat Johno? It's not like the Krammer fans can enjoy it as he's not gained anything for himself, just the "rest of the world" who nobody will be supporting.

 

Team events at testimonials are a massive let down, they should be individuals, I've yet to meet anyone who wants to team event made up of random teams at testimonials on the other hand I've met many who want individual meetings.

When he beats Crump, you won't hear the end of it!

I presume the teams are in riding order, how awesome it would of been to see Hans and Emil romp to a hat trick of 5-1s.
