Let's see if Willi's rationale holds up under scrutiny of statistics.
The question has been re-worded to make it less leading, so please vote and add your REAL name and who you represent, just for Willi's sake!

Graeme Steen, City Of Edinburgh RC.
Voted NO
We were 4th in the team sprint this year.
I dont have a problem with super teams like team Athena or SIS but not the compsite teams.

Richard Hare, Heron Cyclesport. Voted No.
Before anyone reminds me I haven't ridden a track for 12 years, that's irrelevant. If as a group of riders one of your season's objectives requires you to be in a team, then form the necessary team! Or give up that objective. Hence I'm in a small road team with similar minded individuals.

However in your favour you are looking fitter than last year even if the recent hair style is a little on the bizarre side  |

Digby Symons - Cambridge CC
I voted "not fussed".
I can understand the arguments against Composite Teams.
However, as I posted before, it was a real pleasure to see World Class teams in action. |

I can appreciate this viewpoint as I always enjoy watching the world class riders perform.
All I would add is that I assume (perhaps wrongly) you did not enter expecting to win a medal?
I think it's important to imagine how you'd feel about the situation had your team targeted and trained specifically to win a medal in that event.

Robin Fox - Solihull CC. I voted no because I don't think it's in the spirit of team events.

We need to keep clubs and teams together, not disband and everyone ride for themselves.....

"Not fussed"
I'm not likely to medal with my team or in a composite, so it doesn't really matter who I get beaten by so long as I see some good fast racing.
