Was talking to a employee of BMW yesterday and he noted that they (employees) are not allowed to take part in the skills challenge at the GSC
after a long discussion we all agreed that this seems unfair as what advantage do they really have, you can either ride at that level or you can't. If however they do have an advantage and it would be unfair to other competitors as the prize is quite substantial, then at least allow them to compete in the challenge but not for the prize. I for one understand from their point of view, they would like to compete to establish how well they ride and where they are placed in the challenge will determine this. Imagine working with motorcycles all day everyday loving it and then at the biggest event of the year you have to stand on the sidelines. They also have to pay the full entrance fee.
Who agrees??
