I finally don't agree with Tony on something,Lol. I don't believe that we are using real data to make these assumptions. Tabor, and a couple others are the only front runners that missed a race or two. The majority of poor paticipation and people that bailed on the season were not people that were finishing 1st or 2nd. A points structure like Moham's proposal only hurts the top 5 or top 10 riders more by creating a larger gap between 5th and 4th, or 6th and 7th in the championship chase after a few races. Look at the numbers. I believe we need to reward the mid pack, and keep them in the hunt for a top 7 in the championship to keep there ego's bringing them out every round.
