That way we may get some stability and quality teams developing who actually can make a difference to developing talent and survive more than 3 years on average.
Yo, @BritishCycling, now that you're accepting financial payments for preferential gridding at National Series events, can I give you £20 to get an unattached rider on the 2nd row please?
@BritishConti@MaddocksPhillip@BritishCycling The criteria is not a high benchmark and in our opinion as a primary sponsor of an EDT is should be much higher, if we assume this is a logical step to Conti and all Conti teams should be required to follow the pathway before being allowed to be Conti.

@BritishConti@MaddocksPhillip@BritishCycling Well that would imply that all preferential treatment car convoy and entry criteria is all unfair. In that case if you apply that logic, drop it all. Then what is actually the incentive to be Conti or even EDT.
@MaddocksPhillip@BritishConti@BritishCycling Whats the point of having EDT. Its no benefit with anywhere else as all the things claimed an EDT set up would enjoy anyway in the current climate . We agree as a sponsor who pay the £150 we get nothing out of @EmbarkSpiritBSS being EDT. But at least that is some token gesture.
@BritishConti@BritishCycling Elite Development Teams got gridded before your 'average' rider on the basis that 'they paid £150'. Even Wheelbase, leading the series after round 1, were stood in amazement as they were held back and others allowed to go forward. Preferential gridding not acceptable in my view.
Our team for the 2023 edition of the Rás Tailteann.
We get started with a ceremonial 7km roll out just before midday with the race kicking off after 12.
Good luck to all the boys racing.
