We just seem to be making things worse every season with this double up/ double down nonsense,who belongs to who.Just stop ,it there is enough riders to go round if you really want to make it work.
Sorry I asked!Ps.
I wasn't being pedantic I was asking a genuine question,You didn't answer my question but instead edited your post which is a typical thing you do when it suits.You ask for comments then take the hump!
Agree total arrogance (not one mention about refunds whether entitled or not).fans just expected to forget about as it was just a blip in a otherwise perfect sport,Aye Right.!!!!!!
Most riders negotiate Signing on fee to cover some mechanical and transport costs I would imagine.I agree it is a"catch 22 "situation .Any money from supporters clubs should just be a bonus.A lot of riders have a knack of pleading poverty though.
My concern is do the riders have the equipment and back -up to support themselves when taking all these guest bookings ,these extra bookings could be taking their toll on the equipment ,then our fans will be asked for the collections.Only last season we had a rider who was saying his equipment was not up to scratch!!!!
