The husky 125 is a privateer effort and to make things more difficult on himself his is riding Mallemoto. So all those piston changes are his job too

Australia has had some great bike riders, Doohan, Reed, Gardner, Dack, Watts, Corsa, Bailey and Ballard. Toby Price will slot in behind Doohan by the end of his career, others like Milner and Phillips will be in there too, it's a golden age for Offroad in oz, like the nineties on the track.

Price is an absolute beast, here is to hoping he gets the overall. That and brabec in the top ten and id be thrilled.

Yeah sorry,didnt mean to imply it was a factory husky effort.

[VxZeroKnots]

No worries. Looks like HRC has once again binned it. At least it will give Brabec a chance to ride at race pace now!
