Im surprised she (and other pros) are allowed by there team to race as UCI rules state anyone who has a UCI/BC etc license can't race in unsanctioned events. While this rule is largely ignored, wouldn't think it would be worth risking the wrath of sponsors if they were made an example of.

The men's field is a lot larger so haven't heard anyone complain that pros race as the competition is good enough to still have closeish race, it'd be a shame for women to not bother entering as 50 quid to get lapped less than halfway isn't good value, and then you'll end up crushing that scene making a less interesting event with only a handful bothering to race.
