In all reality I think the final onus falls on Martin and team to check, they had two weeks between the NZ Enduro and EWS Rotorua to check and apply for a TUE. If they had of, I feel that the TUE would have been granted and this whole thing avoided.
At the end of the day this is a hard lesson, and I do feel really bad for Maes in this instance.
