Don’t think the rules of only 1 tacsub and riders having to have 3 rides give the Team Managers a lot of leeway and options bar tactical use of reserves in most cases.Schroek seems to make some strange decisions though.We don’t know what’s going on in the Pits.
We hear this every season about these riders that will be available next season on a”bargain average”.Not many come to fruition though the next season.IMO
Would say riders would prefer slick tracks and will voice opinion.These heat waves probably require many more hours put into track prep and some clubs don’t seem too have the time or volunteers .
