It is my belief and that of many of the riders, that the election of the 2 x RC members who are presently (and proposed to be for 2007) nominated by the MT should not be decided just by the MT.
Whilst appreciating it is a difficult job, there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction with the activities and actions of certain members of the RC (who had been nominated by the MT) that have left a desire that for 2007 the riders have a far greater influence on who makes up the RC.
If there is some sort of constitutional directive that means that MT members must sit on the RC, then please let me know where this exists. If it does, then why can we not as riders vote upon which members of the MT sit on the RC. MT members can perhaps put themselves forward for election and be voted on by the riders? The same applies for all of the RC, I know of a number of individuals who may or may not be members of the MT that I believe could do a great job on the committee and have some great ideasd for 2007.
After discussing this subject at length with many of the riders at Cadwell, it is believed that the DSC offers the best framework to run the DD, but that the proposed MT member of the RC for 2007 may not be in the best interests of the majority of riders.
As for my position as 620 rider's rep for 2007, I will happilt put myself forward for the role as long as I believe that the riders have voted upon who the MT members of the RC are.
In summary - Evolution, not Revolution is required for the DD series. It is a great series and with greater transparency and greater influence by the riders it will be even better.
