JK Trophy

[rocky]

Being cut to three legs from 2010?

seriously?

You have to be taking the mick.

Story I heard was that it's being done at the request of The Elite, who apparently want it brought back into line with the WOC format. That is a rumour, and therefore is quite possibly rubbish.

The suggestion was apparently made at the 2008 Elite Competitions meeting - there it sounds like they're more concerned with increasing numbers - and approved at the Nov 2008 Events Committee meeting.

In the longer term, won't make a blind bit of difference.

JK Trophy is a club relay. WOC is a national team relay. Why on earth would anybody want to bring the two in line?

[graeme]

What a joke.

I take it you're not one of "The Elite" who want the change? I wonder who is?

Maybe your mum will come on and remind us it used to be 3-man?

Actually, given how short it is now, maybe they should just abolish all the other classes and have a single big relay.

Slowest M45 ... and Faster on the JK LONG leg than anyone at WOC on the SHORT leg. Like you say "what a joke".

I knew this was coming. Just another pussyfication of our top relay to make it more "accessible" to people who still aint going to run it. Craney went round in 22 mins this year, the same time as the M/W48 relay. What a joke.

Still, could be worse. The UCI, not content with removing the kilo from the olympics, are now taking out the individual pursuit...
