alan_boon Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 With the weakening of the British Final field - and I'm in no way saying it should be scrapped! - is the time right for the Commonwealth Final to return? Imagine the best 8 Brits (Harris, Kennett, Nicholls, Richardson, Barker, Woffinden, Allen & Bridger), going up against the top Aussies (Crump, Ward, Schlein, Holder, Sullivan, Batchelor, Watt & Shields), with a supporting class of NL-level Brits, Aussies, Canadians, New Zealanders, Americans and South Africans. Certainly worth a think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicar Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Not just commonwealth. Whole old system of WC qualifiers was interesting: commonwealth, overseas, continental, intercontinental, etc... I would say more: one day finals were brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say more: one day finals were brilliant Yes that was good, a title at staek in every round. It was also better to have the riders compete in regional qualifying zones. Nordic, Continental, British and Overseas. That should be brought back at least for the early qualification process instead of having five qualifying rounds and send the riders all across over Europe. The current Grand Prix Challenge should become the Intercontinental Final, with the winner becoming the Intercontinental Champion. A much more presigeous title than GP Challenge winner. It would be great to have some of these titles back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballinger Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Scrap all the qualifiers as we now know them and replace with qualifiers on the Thursday before each GP. Bottom 6 from previous GP plus 10 others to battle for place in the GP. How to decide which 10 ? They pay to enter ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
