Headshot Posted March 30, 2017 Share There is a video doing the rounds showing a disparity between what service the pampered pro's receive versus the rank and file (read: "well healed non- professional entrants). Is this really the case? I would have expected a S2C type experience with a surfeit of food and drink and no discrimination. And at the price you pay - you'd expect royal treatment after a hard day in the saddle. would you not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted March 30, 2017 Share What do you get as a day to day rider for your money? I always thought you got fed, watered and well looked after for that kind of coin so never even thought about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varkie2 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Have to agree with the video. Last years food and drinks in the dining tent was very, very average. served in paper plates and plastic cutlery. I truly dont know where the 75k goes. The kit and rider bag must be a tenth of that. Someone is making leke bokke somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
