This
type of event has been proposed before by FEI in a few guises. The first
time I heard about such a concept was after the PAC in Vermont where the
proposal was to end the race after the first 10 finishers. That is if you
were on course after the 10th rider finished - you stopped at the next vet
check.
All these concepts have one thing in common. To end the event
faster and make it more viewer friendly. FEI endurance is not about
finishing - it is about winning. That also implies that they are moving
away from the current "team concept" since stopping the race will
significantly change the team scoring.
Wow - why does this feel like a political machine to me?
