Nicola Butler is British, she has had a British passport for over a year, and the only reason she rode for South Africa was because the British team didnt want her to ride for them. She should have been given the title of UK National, but it went to Louise instead, its all a sham.

I think you will find its not as easy as that .The international rules dictate whether a rider is eligible for the title or not, nothing else. I would like to see Nicola ride for G.B. she is one of the most talented young riders out there , However i beleive that If you ride for a country, whether G.B. or S.A. you should be loyal to that country, you have to make the decision.

the one they call "NickC" speaks the truth, shame she can't ride for UK tho'.
it's cool that we have all those guys in junior men thats a pretty strong division for the Brits i reckon. i always thought they could only enter two riders per division but i guess it must have changed. glad nuggets is getting a ride, pity Sam hasn't been riding and Rossi for that matter.
