I’m all for it. Unless you had designs on being on an elite podium - it really shouldn’t affect anyone. We’re all in our own categories, fields and personal battle.
Peter Sagan and his brother showed up some years ago to our local, weekly summer MTB series. Visiting sponsors after Amgen. They spanked our local elites, hung out and had a good time. It was fun for everyone.
They couldn’t the next year due to the UCI stupidity and just hung out with sponsors.
