LOL this comes from someone who liked the old system that was really fair ,miss one round and you were out , nearly all the world finals because of the stupid system to get there had 6 no hopers in them and a lot of the riders were pay off halfway into the meeting to drop points .
Not sure what you point is about having old men in the Gp's the bottom line is that Gollob ,Hancock etc are still good enough to be them ....are you saying they are not in the best 16 riders in the world at this time ?
Since the Gp's have come in we have nearly always had the best rider become World Champion unlike before when could get lucky on the night .
