The sport is starting to revolve around the riders. It should be the other way round. 'starting to'? ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ch958 2,395 Posted July 14, 2023 nowhere near enough attention has been paid over the years to tyre/ surface interraction and revs/ surface. Would be nice if riders had to use their noggins and use the dirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The promoters could spend time and money on their RS’s to help bring them on to help balance things out. Alternatively they could just bar the best from the RS system. I don't think that will work, look at Connor Mountain, too old of RS berth not strong enough for another team place. I know he was blocked on age not ability, but it could happen to the strongest RS candidate, every team would want him as an RS, perhaps no-one would pick him in the top 5?

This is why the rising star system should have been kept in the championship rather than the Premiership, the step up into the main team wouldn't have been so great 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
