I meant title sponsor. Not checkpoint.

I think these races are best without a title sponsor anyway. Just more to the spirit of it. Yes we should all make money, but nicer without a title sponsor.

It is kind of weird that we pay to be there and then we are kind of representing the sponsors, as racers in their event. Wearing their logo. But sure, the entry fees are not that much and it's great that they have been able to make the event as well organised as it is.

I don’t wear the cap.

I get it both ways. But race needs money to survive and people that work for it deserve to be paid and not below minimum wage. So I’m all for commercialisation, done right.

No one should work for nothing, and the race needs money to grow.
