  • I don’t want to cause any trouble/start a fight, but how is it not ok to give riders food but acceptable to give them your brake pads as I believe happened to you on the HT550?

  • A person that knows about the race and riders, finding them to specifically give them food; clearly support and private assistance.

    A random guy outside a shop that knows nothing about the racer or rider, who enquires what a fellow cyclists issue is. And without being asked, offers to give their own brake pads to said rider. Not support, but just lucky coincidence.

    Hopefully you can see the difference.

  • I can see the difference but I would definitely say it’s a grey area at best. They cannot offer the same support to other riders and the rules state-

    Only use commercial services that are available to all challengers - no private resupply, no private lodging
