My understanding is the male riders want an appearance fee to compete. On one hand they definitely deserve to be paid but surely this should all be nailed down contractually before the event. To basically hold CWX to ransom the day before the event stinks, especially for the fans that have paid good money to see them compete. On the other hand if they have been promised something and that hasn't been delivered then 100% they shouldn't compete but I don't think that's what's happened here.
@thebradjohns: -To basically hold CWX to ransom the day before the event stinks,- You negotiate when you have leverage. The riders have no leverage 3 months out.
Getting tired of this shit in all sports. I got into mountain biking because it’s the best way in the world to have fun and stay in shape. I believe I’ll just go on a great ride with my friends.
