Maybe it's time for the cynics among you to put your money where your mouths are and support their fund raising efforts.😉 Here we go, I am pretty fond of Frankie so happy to help her. I have a apartment in Ransol in Andorra if she needs somewhere to stay but its pretty far from the event venue Edited July 22 by J Wakefield Vishal72, Underachiever, Shebeen and 18 others 19 2

Will make a contribution as soon as and share around! All the best. Sally E Kirk and Headshot 2

Perhaps we can best channel our efforts into giving this the exposure it needs and share among our networks? @Matt perhaps a mention on the content side? ChrisF 1

rock Posted July 25 Posted July 25 even more reason to get get guys to try get points at worlds and keep SA somewhere on the DH rankings
DieselnDust Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Worlds doesn’t count toward series points. You need to race and qualify in World cups for that. uci dhi World Cup season: May 3-5 fort William may 17-19 bielsko Poland June 7-9 Leogang Austria june 14-6 Val di Sole Italy June 25 Les gets France thats 5 World Cup races to use to qualify. So if they had read the criteria in December they could have planned their season to include national series events plus world cups to qualify. the whole thing is where it is because none of them read the criteria when published. Its not CSA’ s responsibility to make anyone read the rules. That’s a condition of your license therefore it’s on the rider or coach to know the rules. its a crappy place to be. XCO has a quota for 6 male and 6 female elites. For those not strong in arithmetic that’s 12 riders. They’re only sending 2 males and 1 female. U23 we have quota for 6 and 3 females we are unranked in ladies U23. Sending 4 males and 1 female. 3 juniors are going , we have a quota for 6 males and 7 females…. all the riders going QUALIFIED…. i dont see a big song and dance about the XCO not filling the allowed quota.
