    Coming close to the start now, some interesting entries this year.
    My focus is on the bikes particularly but I enjoy the whole spectacle.
    168 entries in the bike class. Some old names some new, A few different bikes this year as well.
    I hope that some like the Sherco can do OK, it would be nice to not have a KTM lockout.

    This year in the Truck class there are some nice looking Hino's from Hino Team Sugiwara404648.JPG

    Cars and Buggies/UTV/Quads I'll leave for now except to say the colourful Robby Gordon won't be competing again this year, shame as he is fun to watch.

    Would definitely like to see a Sherco win. But personal preference for me would be a Husq rider.
    As far as the quads are going, id like to see 1 of the can-ams getting on well. Theres a woman riding it and it would be a boost for the sport if she done well.
    No preferences for truck or utv. But Hilux is my car choice

    Husky are just KTM's with white clothes, they could do it but it would be the same thing.
    Any rider finishing especially in Malles Moto class is a hell of a rider, its an unbelievably gruelling race on Man/Woman and machine.
    I remember last years race across the wet salt flat and the massive damage that was done to the bikes especially afterwards.
    One of the KTM's started itself while being washed down!
