Unfortunately... Duvall and Mullins are going in hurt. Duvall has shoulder problems, dnf'd the penultimate GNCC and skipped the last one. Mullins after an early race charge, fell way back at last GNCC, due to nagging problems with both wrists, that were operated on this season. I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but this terrain looks tough and I imagine there won't be much in the way of easy road transfers... Hope for a podium, but a win would be a miracle.
pending disaster the French are the #1 for sure, but both Spain and Australia are in as well along with team US.
Anyone find a webcast or tv coverage of this yet. I have found very little. Hopefully youtube will be blown up with coverage.
It might be thin this year. I saw Jason Hooper/Digital Off Road say, that the FIM is not allowing outside film/video crews this year.
Digital Off Road is reporting, that USA Trophy Team is leading after 2 tests. Zack Osborne is MIA for 3rd test....
