Kamaz team retires after WINNING stage 8 outright

Due to the 'small' issue of running over a biker. No idea who was at fault but there's one biker less in the world now

Pavey still top ten at halfway stage

Tenth on Stage 9 & 14th overall. Second in the non-KTM race

Any one know why Pavey got 20 min pen? Doesn't make any change to position, but could be vital at finish?

i see Pavey got a 5th overall.... first non KTM home.

I was surprised to see in the footage that the KTM's seemed to be 990's... i would have thought the 640 adv would have been the common choice... harder peddling must have been the order of the day

Perhaps we might see a f800GS Rallye version? It seams BMW are pouring the money into the bikes these days, and would no doubt love to at least make a dent in KTM's trophy cabinet.....

I'm not sure why KTM made that choice but as you said it seems BMW are keen to have a go, and they've the budget to do it. I thought Katrinack and Ullavansetta ?? were brilliant, seemed like very sound fellas.
I missed the whole bloody thing, I was on the phone and forgot it till it was half over. It's repeated again, on the same channel, tomorrow at 10:00pm.
