2014 National Championships

[Bushman]

IDK, that people always repeat these crazy stories about him could be part of it. And it's not like directors from PT teams are geniuses who never make mistakes. He's not old at all though, so it should be possible for him to go forward.

I agree that he has the talent to move to a higher level in the future. Im just trying to explain why he is still stuck in conti level.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Hoped Chernetckii could grab it, but Vorobyev was clearly stronger.

There is no centralised place where you can find out about all national start lists. In some countries the national federation or a local website will have them in advance (eg stickybottle.com in Ireland). In others you just have to look out for info from individual riders or teams.

Where precisely are you interested in?
