That sucks. I always enjoy watching the coverage of this event.

it really sucks, but i can understand the decission. it is a brave thing to pull the plug on such an event a day before departure. and it is a shame that such a great event is cancelled because off political or semipolitical reasons.  Undecided i hope we can have the 30th edition next year.
