Neil here, one of Kibosh.
Sorry that you've interpreted a collaboration as sponsorship or that doing so with a brand has meant we are interpreted to have the same views as their personal views. Not here to defend Thom, he's more than capable of doing that himself, although he's always been a very decent chap when I've shared a pint with him.
We are a small team, we make some of our own merch to try and raise money for kit etc. Mamnick is a collab not sponsorship, we chose to do something with him to help earn a very small amount of money to contribute to the coffers. Insinuating that because we chose to do this, pulls Donhou in to equation is wrong on so many levels. Most of the guys that ride for the team don't really have time to look at or care too much about other peoples political views, rightly or wrongly. More take their own judgement from real life meetings. We'd prefer to spend our time riding, racing, working full time jobs and being as nice to everyone we can be.
