and no races outside the US - unless Nice if he qualifies
Decent article, but a weak effort on comparing field strengths between the series. Everyone hates on the PTO scores, assuming they are biased, but nobody brings better solution besides assuming that Pro Series fields must be stronger.
To me it is clear that the T100 fields were stronger at the top, and probably down to the 10th-15th athlete. Beyond that, T100 races usually had some weaker fillers rounding out the field while the Pro Series races had similar or better strength that 15-20, but then also maintain that similar caliber through many more positions as the fields are larger.
There were a handful of Pro Series participants that didnât (or were sort of not allowed to) do T100 that would have been podium contenders, but the vast majority wouldnât have sniffed a podium.

Doubt anyone will put T100 on their official schedule unless they are ranked in the top 15 at the start of the year as rankings can change but I am sure he would show up for the US based ones if he gets an invite!
Funk and Byram starting their seasons early in NZ which hints at a IMNZ and T100 run respectively for them
Norwegians also seemed to be focused on Pro Series with NZ and Texas as their season kick offs
