This is a real joke as most shops, parts vendors are making between 30 - 50% mark up on their items.
You could actually get better discounts just surfing the net or buying on ebay.
The sponsors should actually provide some services for free and at least provide parts at their cost.

All the sponsors I deal with offer different sponsorship levels. But I am with you, I wouldn't put there stickers on for free, that is for sure. My sponsors are companies I specifically wanted, not other companies. And considering I didn't race last year, I feel lucky to have them. I wasn't sure what would happen when I first sent out my race resume with cover letter.
