If the bikes were 'standard', maybe the riders could adapt to conditions and, with the price of the gear you'd think there would be numbers, all over the buggers.
Well, its good to read that someone has some sense of it.
If a rider sits out this season on, say a 6 pt ave. The points limit goes back to 42, will his 6 be of more value than a rider that achieved a 6 this season ?
So, given a 'level playing field',,, riders averges increase, without there being any improvement. Will riders without a team place this season, see an increase in their average before the start of next season ?
I wouldn't say their averages will improve naturally, I think their averages will be forced up,,, and may lead to them being less employable in the future
Well,,, lets hope so for their fans. The present team looks poor, Cook aside,,, the rest of the 1 to 5 have all hit their level, so its a big ask of the 2 reserves to improve that much.
