Despite everyone's thoughts on who should and who shouldn't be in the Grand Prix BSI, Ole Olsen, and Sky Sports are going to want a spread of riders from a selection of countries in order maintain national interest. This will mean that some riders are likely to miss out even though they are better than some who are included but it is in the overall financial interest of the sport. For example, If Lee and Scott were removed I wonder what impact this would have on the attendance at the Millennium Stadium or Sky viewing figures throughout the season as I suspect the UK is Sky's biggest customer in Europe. However what I would like to see is a promotion/relegation system introduced, say, halfway through the series where, perhaps, the bottom 3 riders at that point are removed and replaced by 3 of the best performing non GP riders around at the time.
This, I feel, would spice up the series and motivate those riders who are out of contention as far as winning it. The riders coming in could inherit the points of those relegated.
On a different matter, isn't it time that the 3rd placed riders in each semi were rewarded, perhaps, with an extra 2 points?
