I think you're correct so I guess it'll be feet on deck at 0-dark-thirty again, as usual.

Wow that's gnarly. Is there a reason why they do not safety wire or zip tie the spokes? So when a spoke does break they at least have a chance that the broken spoke will not swing around and cause further damage?

Looking at the stats, there are 13 bikes (who started) not yet through the stage, Don Hatton and Andrew Scott among them.

Luis and JC are in, as is Boundsy (and I believe the rest of the watch list).

I'd say just straight up - "Shoestring".

More footage from the stage, plus the "what you missed" recap from yesterday and a few features.

It's usually some new stuff. The early show is generally a bit "rough and ready" based on what's happening as they go on air. The late show repeats some stuff, adds some new stuff, plus the history sections, etc.

Alex van Ginkel's KTM 450RR seems to die intermittently when rolling off the throttle.

Hot gas? Pressurise the fuel tanks by blowing in them to 'liquify' the gas again?

Any ideas? Please drop me a pm.

Dont forget the special on the freaking polish dude no-one knows or cares about, which is also noticeably absent from the french coverage.
