| Whoa there!
I wasn't the one that said the MT side of the Race Committee would have "no interest in the race series", those words are copied *exactly* from the emails that we (the riders) keep being sent!
This is my issue entirely with that wording. Ian has qualified it better above by changing it to "vested interest" but that was not the original wording.
I still believe that by having two people on the race committee who have "no interest" in the series is a Bad Thing, because to mean it means that they don't give a **** whether the series is a success or a failure. Nor would they care if the riders protested about something because they would still have the ruling vote. This means that 100% of the riders could complain, but the other half of the committee could still out-vote them... and that, in my honest opinion, is not in the interest of the race series. Remember the bit about this series being for the riders?
I'm not knocking anyone who has put effort into the series. What I don't want to happen is for two members of the race committee, who have "no interest" in the series, to come along and undo all that good work and destroy the series.
Go back and read it again. You'll see that I'm actually on your side!  |
