    As it's standing right now I agree. Will be really interesting to see the times after this days stage and what happens in the KTM team. =)

    I believe the Orlen team have put out an official notice that Dabrowski swopped his engine with Cyrils.

    Bingo! I've been there. You can drive through the worst torrential rainstorm of your life, and 10 minutes later be in a different valley and boom! Sunny as you like.
    All this bollocks about "fake rain" is bollocks.

    Agreed. Doesnt seem like they'd cancel a stage for the trucks completely based on solely high humidity, or a certain french rider's engine troubles.

    Conspiracy Theory
    Could it be that Orlen team were the backup plan for KTM all along for cases of Cyril catastrophe during stages?

    yeah that's the only thing I've got. Nothing from Factory KTM though. Plus, no press & media in the gymnasium (I mean you are a journalist, this happens, and you don't scramble a team to the gymnasium? I don't get it)

    I'm just not convinced all the events have come to surface yet

    Sorry guys, no map today...the routes change too much between bikes and cars, I'd need another 12 hours at least to sort it out.

    But there is a statement from KTM:
    "Speaking to MCN, KTM team manager Alex Doringer said: “Cyril has started work on the engine change already. It wasn’t a pre-agreed with the team, but Marek has not been able to ride like we know he can so it was just a case of making a phone call.”"
