Hello Mary, You asked "Anyone know why
" all 30 of the USA entrants are entered in the 100 and the UAE is entered
in the 75, and so far no one has offered a response. Being far from
the loop, i can only come up with my own viewpoints.
# 1 Why are the USA's 30 riders entered in
the 100?
Because the USA still has an open playing field for the 2010 WEC
and to play that game you have to go the 100. 75 is only 3/4's of the way
and they are all competing for a slot. They are all trying to do the best they
can to qualify.
# 2 Why is the UAE all entered in the 75?
I think because the Shiek just got back from his
hand slap by his wife who happens to be the head of FEI, he wants to make a
statement and he thought since the race for the 100 was going to be so
competitive he would just try the 3/4 pole and make a sweep because there
was so much competition at the WEC 100 level and their Team is already known.
