facing and trying to navigate our way through ,” MNZ General Manger , Mike Kerrisk told BikesportNZ . com . “ Our focus has been on the impact that this ( pandemic and the subsequent restrictions ) has had on our sponsors and potential sponsors as they have been forced to review their current level of support . “ To have the necessary manpower on the ground to keep groups of people distanced and compliant is virtually impossible . The host clubs were also uncertain about how they could operate with certainty and , considering all those factors , the financial loss to our organisation would have been significant . “ The decision ( s ) we are making are unfortunate and we can assure the bike community we feel the disappointment as many of our members will also . “ MNZ wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge all parties that have been involved from planning / logistics , hosting , service providers , sponsors to riders and the support and understanding shown by so many of you is always appreciated .” Andy McGechan
