turtlek Posted August 22, 2008 Share So i go and enter and everything as a licensed U23 rider for the crit only to find out when i looked at the start times that to race in the elite cat you have to be in a team of 5 riders contrary to what the website said about not needing to be in a team this is ridiculous now i am going to have to race against the open seeded group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vittel Posted August 22, 2008 Share Hehehe, Just joking Bud, As far as i am aware, they cannot turn you away for being an individual rider...unless they make their own rules at this event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlek Posted August 22, 2008 Share i raced it last year and put together a scratch team and this year they advertised it so that individuals could enter but when i went onto the site after paying it says that you need to have a team again it just makes me so cross that they dont cater for the guys not in teams yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vittel Posted August 22, 2008 Share If Everyone adopted this mindset, how would young up and coming riders get noticed, some guys shine in an event of this nature and might not be in teams, but now wont get a chance to ride....what is their reasoning behind this? Also why do they bother making it teams of 5, if the bigger teams just enter two teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlek Posted August 22, 2008 Share exactly my point i think they might want to be like the dome to dome but it wont work that way unless you have the numbers and as far as this race is organised it looks like it is turning riders away from this form of racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organiser has some explaining to do. Take you a bet you will not be able to ask for your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vittel Posted August 22, 2008 Share Chyna. stuff E-mail its too easy for them to BS you, rather phone em and start screaming and shouting, add tears aswell, then mumble "this is too much" cry some more, then sit back and wait for your number to be delivered to your door, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
