Badger Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Is all Epic Entries sponsored or does individuals take r80k to r100k out of their OWN bank account to do a race? Asking for a friend
Badger Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 We pay for an entry out of our own pockets, only pros are sponsored and maybe some riders got sponsored from their companies. The entry fee is HALF of the total cost involved! We really hope for at least an entry for 2021!

dev null Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 What about riders that were sponsored? Can the sponsors lay a claim for a refund from the riders?

DieselnDust Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 What about riders that were sponsored? Can the sponsors lay a claim for a refund from the riders? You pose a good question. Because it won't happen now but later when the dust has settled and the 20/20 hindsight might say maybe it shouldn't have been cancelled then the chancers will try their nobishism and attempt sponsorship recover.People have shown this week that they are always willing to lower the bar and start digging Duane_Bosch 1

If that is cash or a rolled over entry, it is theirs to do with what they please. SwissVan, DieselnDust, eddy and 3 others 6
dev null Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Why would you do that? Just asking a question. I am too poor to sponser anybody for Cape Epic, nevermind myself. Edited March 18, 2020 by Moridin
DieselnDust Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 If someone had sponsored me the entry and I would 100% return whatever comes from the issue to them. If that is cash or a rolled over entry, it is theirs to do with what they please. Certainly if the entry or money was returned I would hand it back to the sponsor. I don't think that's what Moridin was asking though. I interpret his question as will sponsors recover their loss from the riders they sponsored. in that case I think its a great question. if the entry is carried over to 2021 or the entry fee is returned then I don't think the riders would even know unless the sponsor wants the rider to returm for 2021. In most sponsored cases the sponsor pays the Cape epic for the entry directly so if the entry fee is refunded it will go back to the payer is how I understand it dev null 1
babse Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 After reading that last rider communication its seem very unlikely any compensation will be given... Pity that not even the race bags/packs were distributed. DieselnDust 1
