So cool! Thanks.

Less than one minute between first and second place on the first day. 8O

I see that our Chinese friends are again using the JINCHENG JC 450 Y bikes, which are apparently just cloned Yamaha WRF 450's. In 2009, they had XR400 clones.

I didn't see any Canadian bike entries.

I'm not exactly thrilled by the coverage, my preference being: watching the BIG trucks having a go, but beggars can't be choosers.
