@brittbe - lol, sorry for repeating what everyone else has said, and you don't sound angry.

@brittbe, if 50 women showed up, the purse would have been 50% theirs (since 50 men showed up). if i was a female racer, knowing there was a solid cash prize (regardless of # of women involved), that would have been incentive enough for me to show up and race.

Women made up less than 9% of the entries, and they were paid 13% of the overall purse. 60% of the women were paid. Only 23% of the men's field was paid. Looking at it by the numbers it was unfair to the men. I don't think anyone would complain if 50 women showed up, they just didn't. That's their choice. Stoked for Jill and Jackie to do well, we just want more competition for them.

I cant find any other races that pay equally because none of them do(and im sure you knew that), im not attacking this race in particular I just think its a big pay margin between the 2. For what its worth the amount that this race pays and how far down the line it pays is awesome (down to 12th I think) I just wish the womens field in general was a little closer to parity.

not this again, bambam. find 5 other races that pay equally, or have equal male/female racer turnout...

So Kintner wins every stage of the race and doesnt even get as much cash as third place in the men? Seems fair......

kintner's line off the hip on edgar was perfect. honestly, it was the best one i saw all day, men included. that girl is gonna be on a w.c. podium soon. it would be great to have two americans at the top of the sport, eh?!
