[QUOTE="ChrisW, post: 294675, member: 585"] I doubt anyone that has followed along for any amount of time, or researched past events through ride reports is going to be shocked that for some riders there is a significant amount of outside assistance. I wasn't selected to ride this year, or ever, but I was willing to go up against the team's on my own, as I'm sure most of the riders this year are doing also. Teamstrange seems to pull off the "no outside assistance" rule. I have no concerns that someone got more help than I did last year during Buttlite IIII. If I'm ever offered a slot in the IBR I'll run it on my own. I'll struggle with the decision to get help with maintenance or not. I'd prefer to... I don't know, do it ISDE style with tire irons and mud on my face. Anyway, I don't think anybody is cheating. "The spirit of the event" means different things to different people. For me it would be an individual effort. I think it's to bad though that so many rider's efforts are being called into question. [/QUOTE]
