I think comments here are about the general style of middle planning in Britain, rather than specifically these champs, but as it is the same weekend as the World Cup's final race, which is a middle, a comparison appeals.
(And thanks in advance to Sunday's planners, Mark Thompson and Peter Riches of Thames Valley OC, for their work.)
