World U21's 2014


Recommended Posts

IT will be the Under 21 TEAM Final not an individual event

 

 

Seems like a lot of expense for U21 level. Hopefully it will tie in with the GP.

A couple of years ago they tried Balakovo/Russia for this meeting. SVEMO and MA qualified but did not turn up. Still not heard the final outcome, fines in excess of 20k euros was talked at some point.

 

Now that it's in Australia, it's probably a lot easier and cheaper... For MA. I wonder what other teams will participate, as the fines are pretty big if you dont turn up.

 

Also worth stating from my FMN point of view, that to my knowledge we have entered the U21 team competition. Riders will pay for their own expenses, but can keep/share the prize money. We have a couple of good juniors, but not expecting them to win their quali or semi to reach the final. UNTIL teams start dropping out in front and they are in a position to choose between travelling to Australia (prize money between 3600-1800 euros for a team) or pay the fine, probably up to 100k in euros. Did not find it fast enough from the book.

 

Me thinks why bother. It's not like the world has really chaged from the day when Armando said 7 round U21's was too much in this economic climate.
