Wow, wasn't expecting that news! I really hope it becomes easier to live as a pro OCR athlete in the future. I'm a couple of years older than Leon myself and also one of those turning up on fridays before races (apart from championships) with a full time job and kids, so this will never apply to me. When FISO turned up and things started getting all "official" with having to be associated with a club, having a licence and being selected by a national association, I think the general hope was that at least the top athletes in a country would be a bit "looked after". It's still early days, so we live in hope. Otherwise, wishing Leon all the best in 2024 and looking forward to having a more level playing field with him in 2025 :D
