ISRL Introduces Rider Retention Mechanism Ahead of Season 2 Auction
The Indian Supercross Racing League is letting teams keep some of their best riders for the next season.
Teams can now choose to keep a few riders from last year, making the teams stronger and more strategic.
Some teams are keeping star riders like Jordy Tixier.
Other teams are starting fresh with new riders.
This should make the racing more exciting.
The teams will pick their riders in an auction at the end of August, like in other big sports.
