On n’arrête décidément plus le progrès…
"Just 31 hours before the world elite line up for the last Superfinal of 2013 officials sprang the latest shock move at the Saturday morning riders’ meeting – gate choice at Beto Carrero will be by alternating class rather than giving the MX2 boys first choice – and a chance – as in Qatar and Thailand ! "Oh great," said MX2 world number three Glenn Coldenhoff, "the only advantage we have and they take that away too."
The latest well thought out lunatic move will see the classes choose alternately, first MX1 leader Toni Cairoli, then MX2 top dog Jeffrey Herlings, then Paulin (MX1), Tixier (MX2), Desalle (MX1), Coldenhoff (MX2) and so on; gate choice in each class in the Superfinal is on championship positions at the start of the day.
The amendment was delivered by Event Management, alleging "it had been requested by the teams", which came as rather a shock to MX2 team owners like Jacky Martens and Tim Mathys (Standing Construct) who each admitted "Nobody asked us".
"Oh great," said MX2 world number three Glenn Coldenhoff, "the only advantage we have and they take that away too." Clearly riders do not have to line up in order but the prospect for an MX2 rider of starting with a 450 either side did not exactly create enthusiasm for the 250F riders.
The fact that the Brazilian GP was "the last chance to test it before next year" simply added insult to injury !"
