I do have sympathy for Max Perry. Missing out on a team place by 0.02 pts is unfortunate.
I still think they should bring rising star positions in to the championship.
I also think they need to reconsider how they do it, because young riders shouldn't be missing out on team places because of 0.02 pts.
Maybe force teams to declare their rising star first, making them build their team with that average deducted.
Im throwing ideas around here, but maybe keep rising stars averages at 2 pts until they break 3/3.5 pts. In that case, young riders who are good, but not quite ready, such as Max Perry, would still get team positions.
