laut dem whitely schreiben hat die uci das zumindest so überlegt....aber der schmarrn wird sich eh nie und nimmer durchziehen lassen..da spielt ja keiner mit (veranstalter,etc...)...wenns am ende so is dass man einen punkt braucht dann is des eh nachvollziehbar und vernünftig....aber glei 20 :2rolleyes:
Zitat:......Please return to a system of requiring a UCI point, or 10 UCI points or whatever (if the old ranking system is adopted back), and you will solve all these issues. You mentioned to me that you have ideas of going in the complete opposite direction to this year. Going form mass open participation, to an “exclusive club”. You say that perhaps only UCI Trade Teams and riders in National Federation clothing should enter World Cups.Couldn’t the middle ground that we’ve had for 12 years before, be used again? It worked perfectly well. Or is this a revenue exercise for the UCI, forcing people to form artificial Trade Teams of one or two riders, just to get into the World Cup races? Perhaps this could work in XC where there is Olympic program funding for National Teams, but we do not agree this is the correct way to go for DH and 4X where many top riders are not on trade teams, but run their own programs. It would severely affect the numbers, especially out of Europe. It seems to us that this idea is like going from one extreme to the other.....
