I'm sure Dougie is gracious about the decision- don't see how the other teams will be glad though?
The main loser is probably the event itself- he is a big name and crowd favourite after all.
its nothing to do with Dougie, look at it like this, why did England not call Gary Lineaker up for the euros as he is the record goal scorer or near enough
Dougie is past it at that level and i think its only fair that people riding competitively should be picked for those teams
obviously if you considering a 315 at the same time as these go for the 315- its more modern, if you want an air cooled mono then one of the 1st two, but a 315 compared to these is like day and night ( 10+ yrs difference)
I'm only speaking theoretically, it could be a different country's TDN team not the UK, I'm just talking about overall performance, but, I forget that your an expert in everything so I suppose I shouldnt post anything on the forums when there is such an expert in our midst
not just that, overall performance in a season taking the world rounds 1st and then domestic championships, if a rider for example was riding the world rounds but was being continually beat by another rider at home who wasnt doing the world rounds the rider out performing the other rider should be picked- something like that.
stupid names colley and colomer, well maybe not named after the trials riders, after all i dont recall ever seeing them wear those in a section.
Collie maybe, thats all there any use for - hunting sheep down a mountain.
