If it's a shop, and they'd do the same for anyone who asked and was prepared to pay for it, then it's a commercial service and would be available to all riders.
Brommers-
I interpreted it that the shop are supplying the part (fine), but the final delivery to the CP will be carried out by a private individual (not fine)
From the race manual...
"Finally, I would also like to clarify what to do if you suffer a mechanical that you are unable to fix yourself or any other issue that requires a hasty retreat towards civilisation not under your own power. We will allow you to hitch or pay for a lift out, but also back, as the distances involved are such that riding back to the spot where you had the issue would essentially mean the end of your race. However you get back to where you were, it won’t be easy and it will cost you a lot of time. If you do end up needing to do this, we expect you to document the exact location where you were picked up and make sure that you return precisely to the same spot. The best solution, of course, is to be certain of the gear you bring to
Morocco, carry plenty of spares and ride conservatively to avoid breaking anything in the first place"

What do we think of this? Does it count as a commercial service that isn't available to all riders?
