    FYI for the newbs watching:

    Malle Moto is basically you and a bike, no support, just a trunk for spares. (or do they have two now?)
    Marathon is using the same engine througout the entire race.

    So I would guess that having the support, Manuel is not.

    I think two which are exactly the same, as their trunks leapfrog each other and appear every second day.
    So effectively just one

    Still not a lot of room to make up much time.....unless your rival suffers some misfortune and anything is still possible.

    Typically a parade as such, as the key positions are generally sorted and not much can go wrong, but does though - someone may be going for a stage window spice it up also :clap

    This year though the stage is longer and there is a bit more at stake, so there could still be fireworks tomorrow , both during and after :clap
