His bike was not borrowed, he bought it from Ash Birks, which is a lot better than the kit they use in Argentina.
In part yes, but surely it is the promotions responsibilty to ensure he has, and not pass the book. If he needs help then the promoters should be looking for someone to help.
Damned good question, why indeed did they not find someone.. I am pretty sure Coty was in their team until the new rule on your No7 rider. What ever he does I wish him luck, he came over here on his own, bought himself a van, and got his own equipment with no help. I helped him with eyewear, but there is only so much you can do.
