Best Hiller

Sorry, no mercy here. If all his points were inside category I might think he deserves an exception, but now he's really not that special. Not enough to bend the rules for.

Maybe you can steal a nominee from the Best Rider category and put them both?

I really think that Jepsen needs to be on there, with almost twice as many points as Bruin and top 6 in the OCM tour for the season. Yes, no wins, but he'll pick up votes I'm sure.

3-3 between Bruin and Jepsen, my tie breaking vote will go to Bruin, as I am a proud member of the coalition against no-win nominees.
Bruin will be on the form!

Dean Jepsen

Bruin for me.

Edit: Actually, changed my mind. Jepsen finishing 6th on the tour is impressive, so I think he deserves to be in there. I vote Jepsen.

Jepsen

Also Bruin

Bruin

I vote Bruin.

Rainardi would have my vote, just beating Bruin. I think the amount and percentage of points gained in this category just outwiegh the Lappi win. Jepsen lacks a win to be considered in my book.

I was in two minds about who to exclude, so I've put 3 riders to the vote.
