Who cares? The "old system" is no longer used! We need to stop comparing things to the way they were, whether it was last year, 1976, or pre-war. The system is now identical to qualifiers in other sports, and nobody bitches about them. The important thing is that it is the same for everyone... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you just seem to be posting things to show how riders are benefiting or being screwed by the new system. Do it in reverse, and you can tell everybody who was benefiting or being screwed by the old system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you mean by consistent (certainly not points scoring in main meeting)but not his fault to be 14 points up on his actual total. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
