Pooyan Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Why are they making the entry fee so high? Not following the logic. To reimburse the investors for the $1 000 000 price money they offer.
banna Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 To reimburse the investors for the $1 000 000 price money they offer. Hmm... then I hope for the organisers' sake the entries come flooding in soon. Looks like he's a few short...

nathrix Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Wouldn't mind to see who entered and make some predictions on who we think would take the prize.
Skubarra Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 The organiser said he already secured the prize money. I assume the investors didn't just gave them the prize money for mahala, they would expect something in return like a portion of the entry fees? Or how else would you justify the entry fee?
Pants Boy Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I know of one team already starting preps .... Ok slight change of plans. Cyclocross bikes are forbidden, so team make-up has changed. I'm tagging on as a training partner for a bit. NUTTERS.

Or how else would you justify the entry fee? Sponsors never expect money back, rather exposure/marketing. I'm sure the sponsor's money is just a guarantee at most at this stage so it could still fall down. Hopefully if it happens he'll have enough entries by then. Even if I had the money I wouldn't enter until I know everything has been organised, approvals received, etc.

slabs Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 See Lance Armstrong has tweeted about the race... maybe he and David George can partner.
DJR Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Lance? Ai, ai, ai! Perhaps (not?) the publicity the Munga wants? (B.t.w. I think he doesn't have a hope in hell of winning anything unsupported .)
