That would be a simple disqualification, nothing to do with team/sponsors
It would, and it seems like the simplest explanation out there so far. Maybe he didn't want to admit "I got banned for being a muppet" on video while he was still raging.
As it was a DNS, I wonder if the organisation and the team came to a compromise to withdraw Kade rather than give him a straight DSQ.
Clearly someone up there has decided along those lines yes. But you do comment at times without any thoughts for the many many people who are looking for jobs now etc… It’s just like “yeah tough, they’re shit” and that’s it LOL.
Perhaps my choice of words could be better. I do have sympathy for anyone who looses their job becuase their employer decides to stop doing something. Being a professional bike racer has to be one of the more precarious ways to earn a living with your livelihood based on your race results and the whims of some corporate marketing departments latest marketing strategy. Equally Im suprised by those who subscribe to the view that because you are very good on a bike that the industry owes you a living as some seem to infer
Didnt spot during the live coverage, but a ‘fan’ ran onto the track on the final run in, seconds before Goldstone came down. A marshall absolutely decked him
Another angle here:
The old drop'n'roll! 🤣
Hahaha was going to post that.
Roll out the barrel.
Any word on why Kade wasn’t allowed to race?
Anybody else listen to the Pinkbike podcast this week? Turns out their version of the Rumour is that Kade ran out of custom painted 100% helmets, and they wouldn't allow him to borrow a helmet from Jackson Goldstone - Same colours but wrong manufacturer. They - Pinkbike were at pains to say they they heard it third hand, so it could be as much bullshit as all the rest of the things anyone else's has heard.
