That's a bit of a rarity.
They sponsor the team to sell bikes. If one of their sponsored riders isn't happy with something on the bike, he shouldn't go public with it.
One of the early freeriders couldn't get much help from sponsors because he kept breaking frames. He was doing stuff nobody else was but still.
I know a guy who raced drag cars and paid his own way for everything. He was pretty good and got a ride in a car with full sponsorship, just show up and drive.
One day he mouthed off about the team owner's son to the paper, National Dragster. No more free ride.
