Thanks Seb, this is a good read, but it's funny that this is presented as
being a (mostly) female phenomenon. We all know someone who rides at a pro
level, and is completely unsupported. However, calling the situation unfair is
seriously childish. If you can't figure out how to win everything or create
valuable content, you don't deserve squat. Being sponsored is about way more
than just being a good rider, and plenty of those "models" are way gnarlier
than people realize.
