It would be awesome if the 2 qualifiers were at Belle Vue and Czestochowa- the 2 best race tracks in the world.

Wherever they are, every competing nation must have a U21 reserve rider in 2019

that would be great and with a full Polish program on Sunday after the Saturday qualifier.     I'd make a trip to see those two meetings.

I do however i do think the FIM will push through the U21 change.

They can do that. Entries had to be in a month ago with last years rules. But like I think I said, nobody wants the U21 rule.

What do they want ? 3 senior rider teams ?(cost implications) or 2 man teams ?(injuries and you and the punters  are stuffed ;))

Who wants an what!

If I say there are 4 nations fighting for the top 3 spots, how many of them has good enough of a U21 rider?

What cost implications?

If one of our top2 gets injured, we might as well stay home. We have no good enough U21 riders.

Well Poland, Russia, Denmark, Sweden USA, GB, Latvia, France, Australia and the Czech Rep all have a U21 rider that is half decent- which leaves 5 teams who might struggle.

Prize money is rubbish and far better to split between 2 seniors and a U21 than 3 seniors !

Vastervik rider and a real talent- Lindback and Lindgren are more than capable of doing a job on their own for Sweden !!!

 But thats the problem! Should anything happen to the top 2, most teams have to rewrite their plans to succeed as their reserve U21 is well out of his depth. Finland as a prime example.

For fear of repeating myself, unless there is a major hike in the prize fund the tournament cannot support teams of 3 senior riders. If you take the published prize money and work out that this has to cover riders wages, hotels, travel, team managers,mechanics for 3 meetings it’s just ridiculous. For 2019 that has to include travelling to Russia !!!!

Prize money itself isn’t funding the teams. Not even Team Finland.

and besides, who says the U21 rider has mechanics for free and they sleep together in the van. 4free.
