No nothing to do with Middlo so everyone calm down, just a thought that maybe itis time to change the format of the World Team Cup.
I would like to see rather than team of four racing with four teams in a meeting, why not have teams of seven racing one team against one team, like they do in league racing.
I would have eight nations competing, and put them into 2 groups of 4, and then have a draw, where by we would have four seeded teams, and they would be the teams that made the the final last year so the seed teams would be;
Poland
Denmark
Australia
G.B.
Two would go into Group A, and two would go into group B.
I would then have a draw for the unseeded teams, these would be teams made up from the following;
Swedan
Russia
Germany
Czech Republic
Again draw two out for each group, I then have all teams racing each other, the two top teams go into the semi finals, again drawn out of the hat.
The teams that finish last in the group would have to next season race off against other nation's to qualify.
You could have the draws live on Sky TV, and teams would not know who they were going to face.
If the it is based in this Country you could have the following tracks used;
Poole
Wolvehampton
Coventry
Eastbourne
Peterborough
Kings Lynn
Birmingham
Sheffield
I think that having teams riding with 7 riders who show us who is the true World's best team, and after all in the football world cup they don't play 5 a side.
