Thanks for the heads up, sir. Ya gotta be a horse to compete in that savage trek. Balls of steel, that is.  |

It's amazing how little interest there is in the USA, on the biggest dirt race in the world. I've been watching it for a decade or so and its always exciting. Honda did good in the first round bikes category Robby Gordon took a step back from a Hummer to a side by side  |

It's time for Brabeck and Honda to step it up. |

Just finished Stage 9 (of 10) and Team Honda motorcycles crapped out with injuries, mechanical problems, and just plain wiped out. Husqvarna and KTM seem to be duking it out with a Yamaha or two in the mix.
Some guys just lose it emotionally when their rides fail at this point in the rally; these are pros who are weeping beside their vehicles.
One crew crashed their side by side and the navigator broke his back. Not for wimps.
I do believe that the sprint for Lima will be crazy fun.

Congratulations to Toby Price and KTM Winning with a metal pin in his throttle wrist from a previous skateboard crash He's had worse situations to come back from, but wow. How tuff is Quintanilla after that crash that took him off the podium? Most riders would be riding the helicopter after that. And Congrats to Laia Sanz for a 11th overall, highest placing women. She got to cut Prices hair because he bet her she wouldn't place better than 15th. Both Honda and Yamaha had motor failures. It was sad to see Brabeck go out because of that. I'm pretty sure he would have taken first, or at least podium, if his bike didn't trash. |

Just finished watching it. Unbelievable he(and his bike) could finish after that. And Price is one tough dude. |
