ISDE 6day Germany 2012

Just checked and Toby is only around 48 seconds behind Namotin in E3. Strang and Millner are doing pretty good too in their classes.

It’s great to see Pontus Hogberg doing so well in E3 as well

Matt Phillips is a pretty loose unit on a bike, if he stays upright for the next 4 days he should be able to move up the ranks. First Jap bike overall too.

Looks like Strang and Price are riding stock KTM 6 days, with their own suspension no doubt.

The Frenchy Frogs are dominating.

As TB pointed out though they are getting a bit of help from their countrymen. I doubt there are many Aussies there spectating indicating to our riders which lines to avoid.

The commitment from some countries you couldnt even start to comprehend its massive spotters, watching other teams etc huge. Yeah LC they are bikes ordered over there from the factory direct probably, they front put their suspension in, bars, levers, damper (if they run one) and any personal preference stuff. End of the event certain stuff gets pulled bike gets sold . Happened here at the 6 day would be the same everywhere I would reckon
