Well folks, it's that time of year again

26 days to go before the flag drops. http://www.australiansafari.com.au/website/home.html

Just the two Kiwi riders this year (to the best of my knoledge), Our very own 'javahead' on his KTM 530exc and ADVrider's Jaybo1 on his brand spanking new KTM 450rr

http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=718817

Javahead and Jaybo1 in 09 about to set off for the prolog.

This year i will have a much better handle on the online updates and will try and have daily updates on ADVriderin between service stops and refuels to try to give everyone an idea about what's going on over there, may even get some helmet cam footage of what i'm up to in the bivouac each night.

Updates will come as it happens.

Cheers,
Topo

It'll be in the NZ forum area (but i'll still post a link up here to it). I'll probably kick it off once i get to WA on the 20th.

If Marc and Cyril are racing together then I go for Marc.

However Cyril is a beast. He's won Romaniacs and Erzberg.

Both gods amongst men.

Padders, didn't you read the Aust safari linky below the pic?
It's Cyril Despres coming over to compete after doing the Rally dos Sertoes in Brasil.
Coma now rides the white KTM with Red Bull/AMV sponsorship (for your quick recognition).

Sheesh
