Hey TB
I think that those rider’s can be on postie bike still ride fast then some of us here, but there is some extremely good mechanic building these bikes as well out there racing so it will be the best machine and rider will over the week that wins.
Don’t matter which brand you are on but it seems the Benny is running the faster pace on the KTM but will it hold together for the rest of the week.

ECKS daily report is in

“Few guys ran out of fuel today. Jake Smith had a drama with a flat tyre in stage. One husaberg rider got lost we think. Paul Weel broke down in stage. Dave going great guns but feeling tired. Objective now is to finish”

Random pics he included

ECKS at the wheel

Another KTM with tyre troubles (nothing meant by the DR D could be a Honda, cant help that sorry )

Remember the BMW from last night,

Results thus far from today

http://www.rallyresults.com.au/safari2009/MotosLeg4.pdf

Jacobs on the Honda is now 21mins ahead of his brother on the KTM, Ben was supposed to be only 35 mins behind now but the results so far dont seem to show that, they will be updated tonight as always
