The things some riders have to go through is something the fans need to be aware of. BWD was having a really tough time, blowing up engines so not scoring points or earning money to get them repaired or new ones, and although being helped by a sponsor and later in the season someone giving him the money to get one or two new engines sometimes the fans can help a young rider who is having a bad spell. Something needs to be set up so that fans that want to can help these riders if they are in the same situation.
