Day 1 done and in the books
Dusty, dusty, dusty, and for Bro being in the E3 club class, meant he started in the back of the pack with a lot of local club riders from Spain that made passing for him a real struggle.
He currently sits in the top 100 despite it all and will move up in keytime and continually get a better starting minute. Broc nailed a serious rock today with the aftermarket chain guide and it sheered off the bolts that hold the block on the swingarm. Luckily check #4 was back at the paddock and he was able to swap out for a new swingarm within 10 minutes and not gain any route points! Very impressive to say the least. Lets hope that is the worst of his problems all week! Trophy and Junior teams doing well as is the women and all the clubs. No DNF's so far for the USA. Gnite!

Thanks for the pictures ( I finally broke down and got a Facebook account ! ).
It was driving me nuts looking at 2013 pictures of the Factory Pons bikes. Some of the forks appeared to to have kYB tops in Marzocchi 48 bodies. Makes sense now that they have confirmed that they are using KYB cartridges in Marzocchi forks. I had read that the Synergy Seals guy had performed the same conversion on a Sachs fork and that it was fairly expensive and difficult to do. I wonder if there are any KYB/Marzocchi conversion kits available for purchase ? Anyway super cool bikes! I wish them all the best. Last edited by shultzy; 10-12-2016 at 04:15 PM. |

2 down, 4 to go!
Day two was a very good and easy day for Broc, mostly cloudy with some rain towards the end for some new conditions tomorrow on some new and old tests!
Changed tires down at the GasGas Pons Factory team because the US pits were so overwhelmed with riders all coming in at the same times today! All is well and Broc moved up to 2nd overall Club rider behind Jason Toth of the USA and 1st in e3 club class! Wet conditions in the morning should help Broc as well! Been an exciting 2 days so far, but with the ISDE, anything can happen! Keeping fingers crossed! USA Trophy team in 1st, Junior team in 3rd! Mark

Halfway home!
Day 3! No more dust! Rains and drizzle continued through the night and all day today making some sections very slimy and tough!
Broc had a small fall in a transfer late yesterday afternoon and banged up his shoulder. We all thought it was nothing to worry about last night, but we were wrong. Really affected him today as could see visually the pain he had. He also had one test where he high sided pretty hard, but yet picked up and had a stellar final test to end the day. Fell back to 2nd in Club 3 but only 34 seconds, so can make that up easily. 4th overall in all clubs, but Jason Toth is on fire...and in 1st Club. Trophy team added another minute to their lead and the Juniors are steady! Supposedly rains go away tomorrow....we will see!
