    In what order are they announcing the bikers?
    They are taking it steady in any case.

    I didn't pay attention that closely. he was talking mostly about last year and about "the race."

    stage 3&4 going to be difficult. Less dunes, less sand, but more dirt tracks with dirt and rocks. Does the SA terrain favor the SA pilots instead of being in africa? I don't 'like to make comparisons. It's different, but we have the ingridents, difficulty, navigation....

    Marathon, Salar, why only motos because it's a question of logistics. alot of vehicles. Very complicated. No asphlt. Not possible to take trucks etc. We're hear and we have to do it, but only with bikes. More trucks, more people, more helicopters, more medics,

    we do the route 4 or 5 times each year.
