Is it really that stupid? No one outside of about three or maybe four riders is gonna win the WC anyway, so if they see fit to freshen the series up a bit with some new raw talent why not? Is Hans Andersen ever gonna be world champion? IMO he has had a chance and should move over for someone else.
He now has to have a decent year in the leagues he rides in and make sure he can't be left out next year. Although i do believe there should be some sort of qualification system, although there must also be room for riders to be seeded mainly due to injuries.
