Okay, I'm curious about something. When a sponsor provides a bike like this, does she keep it, or is it just a bike she rides for an event? Please answer if you know anything about it. Thanks^-^
It's really not as clear cut as that. Sometimes they might just give them the bike and she'll keep it; or she'll send it back for prototyping; or it'll travel with the team and so on and so forth... There's a multitude of options as to what will happen, and it just comes down to the situation the rider/team/company is in.
Thanks^-^
