William Cairns and Cooper Rushen no longer Rising Stars?

[therefused]

Poland don’t need to produce swathes of world champions, they just need to produce enough riders of a decent quality to sustain there league system.
 

Something that is no longer happening in this country and it’s very worrying indeed

Rushen opted out, now his average is too high - no complaints from me.

Cairns is the result of poor decision making, I see no good reason why the RS limit was lowered from 4.00 to 3.50, in Poland U21s stay at reserve all year regardless of ability, so they've half copied Poland's rules, but put their own spin on it, which doesn't benefit British riders imo.

Rider too weak for the Prem will get plenty of opportunities, riders who have reached the reserve level & can hold their own, will be dropped once reaching 22.

It could be Cairns would have opted out of the RS scheme, if there hadn't been changes, to avoid the RS pay structure, but we'll never know?

However Poland is not succeeding. There is some angsting a out the paucity of 25/26 year olds, as riders drop out after 21 and 24 when the junior competitions are no longer open to them.
