My friend Genevieve Whitson did a kickstarter type thing so that she could race at the World Champs last year. She's a kiwi and although they were happy for her to race in national colours, wouldn't put up any money for her to go there. I think she managed to get them to send her an outdated skinsuit and that was it. We're really lucky with the culture of racing we have here to be able to get some of our riders to the relatively close international races.
I'd urge anyone who can get there to come to MK next weekend. The course looks phenomenal and I reckon the racing will be spectacular.

Apparently Mark McConnell (beaded chap in the first photo) raised his own funds to race in Belgium. I hope he shows up at Milton Keynes, but if he's on a limited budget, probably not.
