Very good point. So, what's better for the leaders? Pass a guy who laps at 108-109mph but is on line and predictable or someone lapping at 115mph but is all over the place...Surely it's the first option?

As far as turning down far flung riders goes, then there has to be a better way than there is at the moment. The same argument came up last year when Boyd was turned down. I don't know if this already happens but if an entry comes in which is borderline for acceptance, wouldn't it be simply good manners to inform the competitor, so they can make their own minds up as to whether they continue with their arrangements.
