Falcon1983 557 Posted February 16, 2021 riders have to be U24 as of 1st January and have less than 3 years "pro" league experience which is why there are riders who are rated 1* who have no average in the PL or CL apparantly the age limit of 24 allows for cross-overs from other disciplines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would Carl Fogarty be a rising star then? Would be a great bit of media exposure to get him to sign up.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted February 16, 2021 I have a feeling they asked each club who they would like to use, then made up some random rule to make that viable 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
