foamfence 2,917 Posted January 17, 2013 It's a surprise to me too, if you look on the MCF website, they are involved in all types of motorcycle events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noodles 1,337 Posted January 17, 2013 I noticed this on Twitter but the website doesnt say much. I've read the rules on there but it says nothing about rolling averages, loan agreements or 2 riders from top 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobh 8 Posted January 17, 2013 Pictures on their website feature PL riders. Could it be an individual series for top PL men? If so would be very interesting....lets hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obrien48 27 Posted January 17, 2013 Sounds very interesting, like a GP series for UK riders! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bavarian 768 Posted January 17, 2013 They could make this some kind of an Overseas Championship Series in contrast to the new Continental European Championship. A UK series with the top British, Aussie and American riders would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dempo 124 Posted January 17, 2013 Sounds a good idea, I'd imagine that all the Brits excluding the boys who ride abroad, would be keen to take part in a series like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
secsy1 215 Posted January 19, 2013 They could make this some kind of an Overseas Championship Series in contrast to the new Continental European Championship. A UK series with the top British, Aussie and American riders would be nice. Why not keep this as a totally British rider championship. Give the lads a chance, instead of paying over the odds appearance money for some over the top riders on a meal ticket. Enough of them in the Elite at present who dont care about anyone but themselves. This is an ideal opportunity to bring through the British talent and let the fans see them, associate with them and get behind them. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
