    Its 4 or 5 hour race isnt it ?
    Apparently it looked like Townley was nursing an injury, but not so sure after reading this on Transmoto's website:

    "In his first competitive event since retiring from full-time racing, former World Motocross Champion Ben Townley acknowledged the Hattah Desert Race as the hardest motorcycling event he had ever contested. Townley finished 15th Outright, but was sitting as high as fifth throughout the first half of the race. 'This race was both mentally and physically demanding,' said Townley. 'I underestimated how tough it was going to be but it was still a fantastic experience and I really want to come back and do it again.'"

    Very happy to see BT101 still enjoying a good dirtbike experience, he's a top tier family man/gentleman racer.
