He did pretty good there in the 2nd stage too!  Looks like this is one of
the people to watch!

Gotta love those trucks though... my favorite part of the Rallye - too bad
SpeedTV does't think that way.  :(

Just on a site note, I have seen a 2WD mountain bike before.  Pretty neat
setup.  There is a speedometer like cable that runs from the front to rear
wheels of the bike with a cog at each end that is driven by the wheels -
I'll take the Yamaha though!

Rallye


... just a curiosity ... Yamaha is running a semi-syncro
motorcycle in this year's rallye.

yup. a 2wd bike. seems the front wheel is hydraulic-driven, and
is only powered if the rear wheel slips.
gee. where have we heard that before?? ;)
