This is the tops of the tops, down in the down under and a world class "regular" offroad bike race in the Baja type category. I love watching this all out desert sprint across mega miles by all the Oz heavies and racers who all have big balls to this kind of racing!! Be safe out there racers and get it done!! I love how these guys are bangin bars at the start of a mega mile race!! 2014 final 1 PRICE, TOBY MAITLAND, NSW KTM 500 EXC 2 WALSH, DAVID ALICE SPRINGS, NT HONDA CRF450 3 LONG, IVAN TANUNDA, SA KTM 500 EXC
Oh no not me, Finke is way past my level... That gopro is strapped to Ivan Long (3rd place) next to Toby Price (winner). There's a 1980's vid of the race on the web somewhere... I'll try to dig it up, It's a good watch.
That makes me smile and think it doesn't really matter about the start at 240k's its about reaching the end a stupid mistake with a rival can put you both out just keep him in sight an reel him in, you ever notice how much less effort you have to put in following someone? Let them make the mistake an bwrrrrwaaar Still good watching.
