This is a pitfall of the sponsorship / collabo. My guess is that the Kibosh people (I have ridden with some of them) probably do not support Thom's views, they just wanted some free kit for their fledgling racing squad. But I guess when the Internet starts asking questions people get forced to weigh whether silence or clarification is better, especially if it might affect their sponsorship or marketing opportunities.
I'd suggest that they think of their other partners - at the moment Donhou is on the page next to Mamnick/kekistan.cc, with association/endorsement implied.

Never mind the damage the endorsement is doing to associated businesses. The mere fact that he rides a Field has ruined the brand for me.
Reminds me of the story about Michael Winner's attempt to purchase a Bristol, when Tony Crook spotted Winner approaching the door of the dealership he dashed over, locked the door and flipped the sign to closed.
Would have been advisable for Fields to have employed the same tactic.

I can't see that? The partners or sponsors have been the same since the beginning. Donny is a member of the team. http://www.kiboshracing.co.uk/sponsors/
For clarity, the Kibosh and Mamnick link is a collaboration bobble hat that was made recently. I've made the guys aware of this thread.
