I think he means that companies are thinking/seeing sponsorship does not increase their sales or isnt worth the money.

So does that mean Minaar on Trek, going by recent posts.

santa cruz syncros have sacked off rob smith, but bigh bro dave still remains on the team, i spoke to reliable mates up the local trails the other day, they say robert might have bagged a world deal with vario bikes and wulfsport, hope this is true, with the support i think this dude can go far!

Indeed, especially as I imagine Trek have the finance to fund Minaar.

Foook me thats a nice wage to ride a bike all year, but for coming 4th at Worlds after breaking & dislocating his shoulder in his run, he deserves it!

Insane if it was 999,999. But if it was 100,000, that aint much considering hes one of Honda's top atheletes/racers.
