I also agree, as someone who had there entry returned at the jack wood to find that 29 didn't start. Personally I think the s3 championship needs a mix up. The experts want harder and harder trials, so why not put them at the front when it's at its hardest. Then put the clubmen route at the back who are after a steady day out. Also as the clubmen route often provide 50%+ of the entry can we have a championship where the top 2 or 3 progress to the S3 champs or ride for no award the following year.
I managed to get a late ride at the jack wood but felt that the clubmen riders where there just to make the numbers up. The trial wouldn't be viable without clubmen riders
