After reading this article on CN, I was annoyed to find out that two very strong nations could struggle to make the cut to have the full 9 riders at the worlds this year. Other countries such as Kazkhstan, Switzerland, Germany and Luxembourg are inside the quota so they can field nine riders. I personally don't think these countries could field overly strong all round squads at these worlds. Luckily Luxembourg can only field 2 riders at these worlds so one of those countries will be able to get inside the quota. Even so I don't think this is the best system to decide which nations get the full nine riders and which nations only get 6. It would be a shame if the dutch or the french miss out on having nine riders as those countries could field stronger all round squads than the countries I listed above (Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Germany and Luxembourg).
