fear not DD's, I think it fair to say that if it is weeksy idea is not very likely to happen
Sorry Steve could n't resist.
My 2 cents, - very much uninformed opinion so don't read anything into my thoughts:
It is too early to decide exactly what the series will be for next year. Just because it was originally and idea to do it one way this year does not mean it will be the same next year, - both riders and The DSc are learning this year. I think it will stay as a very mixed bunch of people; - I spent a bit of time on Saturday talking to 3 of the top runners (not big message board users) to see how they were enjoying it, if they had any issues etc. I was really pleased to hear that they were happy, - and the main thing that came back was the friendly helpful atmosphere. I was also encouraged to hear from one of them how the lapping riders/backmarkers was not a problem, - as was said; - they have as much right to be there, and knew what the series was about when started.
What the series really needs is some media coverage from the bike press as I am certain that there is a great story to tell here, - and if we get that exposure we could perhaps have 2 series within 1 with 2 starting grids next year?
