First off congrats to Rathy for a well deserved finish. He absolutely killed it this year.

It looks like AA got screwed this year. Maybe next year he can miss an event, or not even podium in a bunch and end up placing in the top 3. What a lame way of magically adding points halfway through the season for no reason.

Yeah, me too. Been discussing this on a few posts now. Rathy still earned the title but AA got shafted the most. I don't think Rathy benefitted from the chase points either. In fact I think he also lost out?

It is inexplicable why they do it. I mean, is anybody really capable of running away with K of W?

Yeah, I don't understand why they do it either. It's bad enough to go from 2nd to 5th because you ride poorly in the second half of the year, but to go from 2nd to 5th because of some arbitrary "point gift" system is just ridiculous! I think they need to drop "The Chase" point system for next year.

AA rode amazing all year and to drop that much is INSANE! He completely got screwed.
