Interview - Trials des Nations 2016, what's the story?

Post by mattyl01 »

From the front page:

Motorcycling Australia recently released a statement re High Performance and International Team funding (http://trials.com.au/news/ma-high-perfo ... ement-3264) and there have been some major changes to the funding of all international teams. We’ve also recently seen a post from Phil Whittle (https://trials.com.au/news/funding-upda ... -2016-3304) calling for help, as it appears unclear what this all means for our Trial des Nations teams (men’s and women’s) I caught up with our Australian Champions Kristie McKinnon and Kyle Middleton (my son) and also Phil Whittle (team manager for the past 5 years), to get some insight into the situation.

Thanks Sue Middleton for posting this interview, I'm reposting this here to allow folks on the forum to comment. The 2015 TdN team have mentioned on their Facebook page that they will setup an online fundraising site to help fund the team.

Support Oz trials riders in International competition, yep.
I'd have thought this would be a cinch for a crowd-funding project?

(BTW Not everyone is on the FB gravytrain!)
