Men's Category of Slopestyle Will Not Proceed - Crankworx Rotorua 2024 [Updated with FMBA Statement]
There is quite a few sports where athletes get paid appearance fees, golf for example or if you want to stick with cycling. Cyclocross! I’ve covered many races where riders have been paid to come race for the entertainment of fans, I have to say I do largely agree with the riders. A tiered system for appearance fees would make sense to ensure the big names continue to show up to events, also gives the riders some security in what is an inherently dangerous sport.

Wiggle CRC Reported to be Bought by Frasers Group for Under £10 Million
@shredddr: as someone owed money I can confirm, no! Myself and many other get absolutely nothing for our hard work and time. I think the those who supplied product may have had some form of payout for stock sold but aside from that, we all got shafted.

That sucks, just as Danny got a ride. Looks like he will be without again!

Mass Redundancies Reported at Wiggle Chain Reaction
@Mfro: unlikely that Evans/Frasers group will validate warranties for product sold through wiggle, they just bought the IP not the stock. That remains property of wiggle. Tricky situation as it makes much of the stock totally worthless.

Mass Redundancies Reported at Wiggle Chain Reaction
I feel sorry for the staff being made redundant, some of whom are my friends. The whole situation is a complete mess, so many people left in the dark and many arriving to work that day with not even a hint of what might happen.
There does need to be a serious change of legislation, companies like this use freelancers like myself as staff but then when it goes bad, We get hung to dry! Owed money by wiggle for work done back in June, it pisses me off that administrator gets their cut but we get nothing apart from a bunch of credit card debt due to expenses not being paid for work carried out. I don’t ask for much but to be paid on time is one thing I do expect! I’m sure the many athletes and other creatives feel the same way.
Its a bitter ending, friends out of work and like many others I’m left out of pocket.
