Unofficial WEG Team

["Carlos F. Crespo" <ccrespo@nigma.com>]

Mike:

 

The selection process is very partial to light weight riders. They are more concerned

with what the horse-rider team did in the two years prior to the competition

rather than what they can do NOW. In my opinion, it is a very distorted process.

 

Until the selection decision is taken away from the closed door, back-room,

unaccountable, horse show mentality currently in place , the team selected will always be

suspect and the wisdom of the selection will continue to be questioned.

You will not see many men in the team  either.

 

One day, I hope, the selection will be made based on an objective process determined

by the performance of the riders on specific races. Then, and only then ,

will we be able to say that the team selected is the absolute best that can

be assembled and there will not be any argument as to who deserves to be

in the team. They will have WON their place in it.

 

Having said all this, I also have to express great respect for the ability of

all who made the team and I wish them the BEST OF LUCK AND SUCCESS.

 

Regards,
