I'm not big on asking for help, I mean, asking for cash money yo or for bigging up stuff I've been paid to use, unless of course it's actually good (Torq springs to mind - I still prefer it now and I'm paying full whack for it).
I don't even really know what I need - I mean, can I get away with a bike I already own? Maybe.
There's also pressure to do well or pressure to at least talk about it a lot. If I have a complete break down I don't want to be thinking about self-censoring, writing something that upsets a sponsor. I like being able to talk shit about anyone or anything.
Then there's the extra work involved in getting sponsors, telling them what you'll offer them and working out what they can do for me vs. "X is the best. Can I afford it? Yes? Add to cart.."
What I need is a manager, someone to take all the organising away from shit like this. :)

I genuinely think you should be reaching out for sponsorship. You've got some wins, high positions, and great achievements under your belt, your attitude is amazing and you clearly can ride a bike fucking fast for a really, really, really long time, and it's pretty awesome what you've achieved so far with just support from Scherrit and your other half. I think you said it yourself earlier in this thread, if you don't ask, you don't get. I think you should be asking left right and centre!
