Did you see the weak ass trophies dudes were holding in the podium interviews? WTF? [Biden voice] Come On Man!!!! You can do better than that. [/Biden voice]
Looks like Feld cut back on the expenses. Those little plastic plaques are a little ridiculous.
The Shop
Tim Ferry uses a first place trophy to hold a door open in his shed...highly doubt these guys care about the trophies unless it's a "first podium" or "first win" or a championship.
Podium finishers have so many of these, most of them are in storage or get tossed. Look at it from this angle...these are way easier to put in storage. HAHA
Each race winner gets to hold it, take a photo with it and stake a legit claim for it.
But only one man will take it home at series end.
It goes to every race and is ceremoniously put on stage during opening ceremonies...white gloves and all.
Don't need a trophy for each race.
All the trophies I won back in the day ended up in a landfill at some point.
Now that's a Trophy!
Pretty lame what the riders got.
Pit Row
I kept only the bottom marble from my first trophy
No major expense incurred, but better fan engagement and maybe cool (or at least unique) hand-crafted trophies.
Back in the day you could refuse the trophy and it would pay for next week's entry. Lotta guys did exactly that.
Wondering since there's no futures/amateur days this year....they had an excess of trophies to get rid of ?
