"Formula 450" is kicking at the factory end of the scale... and the "Malle Moto" is keeping the solidarity and spirit of the grassroot Dakar motorcycle competitor alive... in true "Kemal" fashion.

I believe DAKAR 2013 will be an immensely interesting year. Will there be a change of the guard, with the new Jedi coming through the ranks... or have the established Aliens still got some "zap" left in their light sabres?

Mat the F5orce be with you in January!

Sorry if derailing this thread...

I just heard an exciting rumor about Quinn Cody!

[Pilbara]

it is about the Dakar and the competition for Honda, Ben Grabham is also riding a KTM this year at Dakar and although his first and getting over a horrific accident at Condo he could still place well. Matt Fish did well in Maroc and Ben has consistently shown to be quicker.

It will be a very interesting year, wish I was there....

Ben just pulled off 10th outright & 5th in E2 this weekend at the A4DE (Australia's ISDE) just taking it easy in his first race since April, so his form is looking good, and he says he feels good and strong.
