    JUNE LONGWEEKEND is here :woohoo:
    That means FINKE is on like Donkey Kong !!!
    Prologue tomorrow, Saturday blast from Alice to Finke, Sunday smash it back to Alice for the finish line !!!

    I am tipping another big win for the Motorex KTM Desert Racing Team,
    How can they go wrong with Grabbo back at the pointy end and Matt Fish backing up in the place of the injured Toby Price :whistle:

    Great to see Toby is out there to support the guys, as Grabbo did last year. Imagine what it will be like when they have both guys back to peak fitness going bar to bar for the win :laugh:

    Bring it on ;)

    Wouldn’t worry about Grabbo’s qualifying mate ;) no one else has the experience at winning Finke in that list that he has. No one remembers qualifying

    Interesting that the GHR boys are fastest in qualifying good result for them

    AJ is a pleasant surprise in 3rd on the Yamaha

    All set to race tomorrow. They had some issues with the transponders and the top 20 had to re-run the prologue. Could have had some effect on the results.
    Anyone who is interested I am bike 753.

    12mins is nothing to a guy like Grabbo, he might be feeling the nerves, a few flash backs maybe :unsure:

    12 mins is a life time at Finke Pete. I am a HUGE Grabbo fan but this isn’t his year. See his safari and Dakar sparing partner Rod Faggotter is the bike behind just under 3mins. I am betting Grabbo has a had a drama to be that far behind the GHR Hondas ;)

    Guess we will know tomorrow night
