"Elite" Aussies...?
Yeah... I'd reckon probably
. Especially considering his UAE, Oman and Marocco results, and fact he is on the Speedbrain team for January.And judging by the #38 start number he got... Grabbo' has been put on as well...? On pure "ability" that would probably make a case for Todd Smith and Rod Faggotter as well...? Although if "elite" status only takes into account "international" experience (not domestic achievements), then only Rod F (who did Dakar last year) has any overseas merits. But in reality both Todd (GHR Honda) and Rod (with Yamaha Eu) both carry similar speed to Grabbo and Fishy. Could be a few roo's up in the mix this year?

![]() Of course you are right, I did not make it very clear that it was the provisonal ASO elite list and as you so rightly said I am sure there will be some additions and omissions when the final Dakar entry list comes out eventually ![]()

Grabbo's number is not confirmed yet, it may be 50+ since the lower ones go to Elite riders, 38 was for graphic effect !

![]() A lot depends on how well the "rider resumé" is filled out on the entry form I suppose... and if it's in French... How is Grabbo's French doing Garry...?
