Are Haas embarrassed about Rich Energy?

I'm seriously considering buying a Whyte bike when I finally get around to treating myself to a new MTB.

"baseless"

I really hope they are taken to the cleaners over this whole farce. "Baseless" what a load of crap.

Do it. They're fantastic! I love my T-130 C RS ... (Excuse the weird kitchen; it was delivered to my parents place, rather than my house! Hence no pedals.)

You can just about spot my whyte bike

While in the IoM for the TT, I found a can of this. Had to buy it and give it a try. It was pretty bad.

"Est. MMX" do I see that right? 10 fking years ago?

Nice bike. I'm old enough to be able to say that that front chain ring looks comical.

Wouldn’t it be funny if another F1 team gets Whyte Bikes as a sponsor and uses the logo.

in today's 'big data' word of INFO savvy researchers a scammer like this idiot William Story should be easily outed for the scam - but not yet.

Is Bernie the poison dwarf backing him?

Why would a clever businessman like Geen Haas get involved with this beardy idiot?

According to Haas the bank have guaranteed the cash so regardless of what happens with Rich Energy they'll get a pile of cash regardless

What's the scam though? Everyone on multiple sites keeps saying it's all a scam but where's the angle. A front to allow a bunch of rich blokes to get involved in F1 in a tax friendly way perhaps but what else?

You'll have to explain that one

I really don't think it's a scam.

My interpretation is that it's a strategy to build a brand and distribution network in the hope that a CocaCola/RedBull/Diagio come in and buy it. This is the strategy that Hype Energy Drink used in the 90s.

It's an exceptionally high-risk strategy. It sort of worked for Hype but nowhere to the level expected.

Utter cocksockets. As real as their "2015 Brand Guidelines" document which they had to fess up was actually written in 2018 "to assist the court"...

It is a paid advert, so really not in anyway endorsed by Evo.
