The guys at Manual for Speed have been dealt with a classic case of anti-upgraditus. Apparently, the Tour Down Under doesn’t believe that MFS are legitimate photographers. Yet, in this recent field study, photographers with more access just seem to be dicking about.

Here’s a backstory:

“That’s when I was handed the orange vest. Not the blue or the green or even the fluorescent vest, the o-r-a-n-g-e, orange vest.”

Even with their recent Strava Instagram takeover, numerous sponsors and endless piles of incredible photos of professional cycling the guys aren’t taken seriously by the Tour Down Under officials.

Do Manual for Speed a favor and RT this for them.

Help MFS get #upgradecreds at @tourdownunder!!! RT RT RT
