Commenting only as a spectator and marshall, the new system is a disaster. I know the old system wasn't a perfect illustrator of capability and progress, but it was at least a fairly simplistic signal of who was making ground as the races progressed - and as such, interest was maintained (for those who were interested) in the whole field. All of which has been said many times before.
My point is that 'on the dark side' it was reported that the organizers were happy with the new system and had recieved no negative feedback from riders and spectators since its adoption.
We know for certain that they weren't listening to the 'vocal minority' at the old site and they sure as hell ain't listening to us on here. So if you feel strongly enough about it, it might be worth registering you're dissatisfaction via an official or direct route.
