It works in Poland due to their "juniors" being of a much higher standard at U24 level, with their tracks being a lot easier to ride due to their size, shape, and track prep... We see over here even top riders sometimes struggling to get around, so expecting young inexperienced lads to compete consistently against some of the worlds best is frankly ridiculous... Unless of course they are, on that rare occasion, "real talents" who don't need an RS position to deliver their career, as their talent will do it for them... They would have been better off with six man teams in the top league and saved a wage, or, if they didn't need to, given the six riders more... Replacing them with a "genuine" number 6 shouldn't be allowed.. Either have them and develop them by protecting all their races, or don't.. They shouldn't be used as tactical cannon fodder.. I get what you're saying but really there's only a handful of Juniors that score points outside of heat 2 regularly. There's a lot of garbage in polish league too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame because he has so much natural talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don’t think they would, from what I see a huge percentage of them lack bike control and track craft, they are good at going fast on big wide open tracks when there’s not other riders near and all have really fast bikes - too fast tbh which has led to some big crashes and several senior riders getting completely wiped out by young kids riding machines too powerful for their skill set and just getting launched all over the place when they catch a small bit of grip or a bump. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
