Changing Of The Guard

I'm not totally sure about only the top 5 qualifying for next years series, that would leave a fair amount of the field coming from the GP challenge. My problem with this, if a rider was to take part in the qualifiers and scrape the last qualifying position on each meeting, are they really a better candidate than a rider who finished 6th in the GPs but didn't take part in the qualifiers? Yes, they should have taken part in the qualifying meetings, fair enough, but they have shown they are the 6th best rider over a GP season.

 

The whole dynamic changes, of course. The rules would be known in advance by the riders, so they'd make plans accordingly. And three nominations would still exist, so the sixth place rider in your scenario would possibly take one of those nominations, unless, of course, the Briton who finished in fifteenth place was deemed more deserving.
