That way people like Murray who have done the whole season and shown great commitment get to race, Those that dither obviously are not that commited.

I don't think that's very fair Glyn, lets remember that some of us may not be in a financial position to commit yet and may need things to fall into place before there would be a possibility of making it happen.

If it took me a few months to get myself in a position to commit to the series and I looked at the situation at that stage and felt I would be treated like a poor second cousin with reserves etc I wouldn't enter the series. I'm sure others would feel the same.

If the series turned into a series that riders regularly missed out on racing then it would lose part of it's value proposition and wouldn't be as attractive to new riders and therefore risk ensuring the continued success of the series. I think it would be a positive thing to think a little more long term about the implications of what we're suggesting.

It's just an indication at the moment for New Era, nothing more. Lets not get too carried away with trying to penalise people who, for many and varied reasons, can't commit just yet.

Patience, wax on wax off etc ...
