Just one more thiught,(and i use Kev as example) .
Assuming the 2 new riders beat Kev he would still be 2 places further up the grid than he would be if ALL the riders that started the season were riding(the fact being that at least 4 (usually top 15 finishers) will not be starting at Cadwell .
In my book that would be a result if I were in Kevs position.
As to supporting the riders that have done all 5 rounds,why should we penilise those that are the future of the series.
