I'm not sure he does. In the US, CX is all about participation so why shouldn't the national championship race be open to anyone? Here we don't even have a SSCX category (but then they have about a gazillion different categories at US Nationals meaning everyone gets a chance of winning a title).
He's a sponsored rider yet he's complaining about other sponsored riders beating him. Boo hoo hoo.
CX is a niche sport. SSCX even more so. I think his point is that there would be no SSCX nationals without the core regulars who compete week in week out. Whether that has bred a sense of entitlement I think its clear that it has and for that he should MTFU and get on with it.
