I can get a SPOT in any REI, this isn’t a hard concept.

But they let you call for support, yes?

and anyway SPOTS are _strongly recommended in the rules_, and dotspotting is an accepted part of the sport.

Filming commercials for _checks notes_ a big brand famous for ruthless copyright litigation and a used bike shop swimming in VC money, not so much.

What if you know Specialized’s legal and marketing departments thanks to your promotional contract with them, would it help to know them in this scenario?

This is really just a “pro cyclist” vs “amateur cyclist” thing when you get down to it.

At what point is a line drawn before every “pro” starts to race the events more like a UCI road race than a timed poopbarn?

To be clear, the problem isn’t Lael the person. The problem is what Specialized has the power to do with Lael the brand.

13 peeps from here doing it this year. 2 of them doing it for the 4th time. One of them has done it on a tandem with his Mrs, and this year he is doing it SOBO on a SS. The dude to watch will be Martin Strelka, altho he’s officially a Czech. More pix of fruity rigs.

Bingo. Lael seems like a solid person.

Since she rides what she wants to ride and has a healthy contempt for specifically anti-Lael rules, I’m not sure what Spec’s legal department would bring to the table. As for marketing, I suspect that they’d rather it just vanish because the organizers of the race are beclowning the whole great divide and it’s hard to make winning a clown race an aspirational thing in the ads.

She can race (and likely win) without a media crew. It’s an anti-media crew rule.

Feels like preventing the college ball players from taking endorsements. Establishment making money worried about what happens when their captive show ponies start to get a piece

Mofo. He’s out with Covid. That is a complete shitter. He was a serious contender.
