I’ve secured some funding and leave to hunt for an entry. If anyone’s looking to sell, please send me a message.

I am not paid to ride bike so I don't identify as a pro, unlike many of the other SA "pro" riders!

What if you do 3 social media posts per week until the 26th October like they are all doing right now 😝🤭

Yeah they have team budget for races but I’ve never seen them punt any other race like they are doing right now, they definitely all got freebies.

In hindsight I am inclined to agree.

You think that's a bad thing?

From where I sit, it is remarkable Kevin managed to get this many big names. Good on him!

I think it’s worth a shot. The worst they can say is no. Technically you’re gonna pay for the entry as well so not like they’re giving a freebie. But it’s another name added in the elite field so cant see why they would say no tbh.

One would hope so otherwise this is a lot of money invested for very little attention and as sponsor who has given millions I would not be happy.
