This link gives some different detail than that in the official BSPA statement, so either the author is making some unfounded assumptions or he's had some 'inside' info from the likes of Rosco I presume?!
Why would the BSPA statement say that they are hoping to make it as easy as possible for as many GP riders to consider the EL - only to then introduce a 'maximum of 2 x 7+ pointers' per team??? It just doesn't make sense!!
