Day 2





A nice day yesterday, our riders did good. All came in on time at impound in the evening, exept for Scott, somehow he messed up his times and was 2 minutes early and at check 5 he ended up 4 minutes late so 6 minutes on his account.
Stephen did not drink and eat enough yesterday, at check 5 he "hit the wall" and had to be feeded and loaded up with water before he could go on. Luckily he realized he did not drink enough and he did much better this morning, he ate and drank till it was time to start. Looked much more relaxed than the other days.
No exiting things happened this morning no tire changes or spectaculair problems. The weather is still very nice, hot in times. They expect even warmer weahter at the end of the week.
Today is going to be a long day for us and the riders. Because of the dust the jury decided to start 2 riders a minute (first 150 riders) to give the top riders a change to stay out of the dust. Our last rider will be in the pits around 18.40 this afternoon. We arrived here before 07.00 this morning. Hopefully we will be in time for dinner.
I will load some picuteres from this morning. I forgot to take a picture of Dave this morning. Hopefully I will remember tomorrow.
