Yeah, my example is sort of hyperbolic, but I think it’s valid to show how unrelated a time trial is frim a head to head race.
Further, the fact that your friends get a kick out of watching both the F200 and the sprint tournament can be used to support my idea that the two events could be separated into two that award a champion.
I think we can easily envision a regional championship where therein are 2 events:
- Flying 200 TT where riders get 3 runs and throw out the worst time.
- A 1 or 2 day round robin then semifinal (final four) bracket sprint tournament.
Both events would provide great excitement.
