Can't really see HRC aka Honda Europe paying for two big

  Spaniard Joan Barreda (Husqvarna) entered the second part of the special at 12:49:21 pm local time.

Wow! That's >40min ago and WP7's still not active.
?????

Spare a few minutes for the guy who started it all.

Thierry Sabine died on this day, the 14th of January, back in '86.

Is that a confirmation of my earlier "rumor"?

Not from my end, just couldn't see them paying for both - absolutely no inkling of anything to corroborate the rumour one way or another

I have feeling WP 7 is going to be treated as a CP and the results will only show when they get to WP 8.

Or the tracking has gone to the dogs again

not to replay but I was reading a few pages back that Cyril changed out the bottom end.. now why would he change out a barrel and head with the chance of a leak, etc.. It looked like a straight complete motor swap to me.

Would expect so, wp7 should be no different than wp6?

La Chilienne Josefina Gardulski n'a pas été récompensée de son bon esprit. Venue en aide à son compatriote Axel Heilenkotter, elle est à présent victime d'un ennui mécanique qui a dégénéré en incendie . Elle occupait la 133ème place du général ce matin.

If cdp joins HRC my support for HRC is gone. I like that a band of brothers has formed around the 450x rallye.

He has few attractive qualities. He's no team rider.

I'm going with the dog pack option.
CP3's at km499 and it would really throw a wrench into the gears to have CP2.1 show up.
