Adding to my other comment, you can have two semis and a final but then you simply make 8 riders, reducing to four, fight for the 3 places in next years GP. You cannot get round the fact there are winners and losers.
My previous experience of this stream company, possibly last year GPChallenge qualifier when Tobias Musiek won. Similar problems, perhaps I didn’t complain enough last year, made up for it this year. Expected better, rather disappointed.
