Can't remember why Hollis could not ride, he would have been selected if he was avalible.
He did have a couple of injuries during the year, maybe needed to heal his body up, maybe funding, getting hold of a bike? really not sure.
Seems like the AORC is really working, we've been strong offroad for a while–hard to imagine that Sanders isn't gonna be a factory rider somewhere too after this route.
Yeah Sanders is a freak, only 17 still I think, 18 at the most.
From memory I think (would have to check back through results) but I think he was the only other rider apart from Hollis to take a round win this year away from Price.
Next year in Aus will be good esecially if Sanders does not get snapped up. Green back on a 450, hearing Milner may come home. I might have to get out to a few more rounds next year!
The A4DE also runs the exact same format as the ISDE with multiple days, special tests, work periods before and after each day and the final motocross.
The A4DE is an awesome event.

I'd guess arrows got torn down or removed somehow? 6 days is notorious for locals fucking with things.
Looks like USA is screwed either way now with Duvall being out, but this DQ thing still seems bogus to me.
Find it more odd that the riders before and after a group of 8 had no issues
Also the fact that is was riders from a few different nations that got caught out makes it hard to think it was aimed at ruining a particular teams event.
Certainy a strange deal, Hopefully someone who knows the American who was caught up in it can find out his thoughts and what went down.

The FIM should have let them race and impose any penalties AFTER the event...imposing, and then reinstating, a penalty mid race is ridiculous.
Same as fuel gate.
You can't make a penalty happen so flippantly and then just overturn it during an event or series, of course it affects how things are ridden.... Bs.
Aussie riders probably backed it down and played it safe with a huge lead, while French riders would have been angry and rode like they had nothing to loose.
With most of our team having a huge back ground in MX we can only hope for some slightly aggressive passes that may remove spokes from french riders wheels tomorrow lol.
Can we draft Reed in fort he final moto's and tell him that every French rider is planning on jumping on him and he can go all Canard on them?
Pit Row
Also day 3 while everyone was going 100% the french made up over an entire minute on the USA and Australia. Just saying France was ripping, give credit where credit is due.
Australia sure is looking good though, pure domination in the juniors and womens class and Daniel Milner just straight up rips! Lots to be proud of and look forward to in years to come.
Lastly, Go Sipes Go!!!
If it is a 30 minute moto, ever chance Australia could make up 2 minutes just with Simmonds and Ralston alone
Could be a epic battle between Sipes, Simmonds and Ralston in the final moto, with that was being streamed live.
Strange to go from the harshest of penalties to no penalty, but again until we find out all the information on why 8 riders missed a check point that 400 other riders made it through it is hard to really comment, just speculate which we are all doing.
And I am happy to admit my views could be slightly biased on the situation
Well two minutes on the last day is a lot but nothing over 3 days... If you know the other team is right up your ass you aren't riding anything but attack. Complete bs and another rubbish example of fim processes completely lacking in any common sense.
We know we are missing Strang and Price, two massive names from the team, but that was that before this event started.
But you have to think we could have been better off sacrificing the Junior Trophy team and bumped Sanders up to the World team, but again easy to say in hind-sight.
Also I have no idea if any of the other leading nations could have done the same regarding junior team members being so strong or missing top names from their line ups.
Either way makes for some good WHAT IF bench racing lol.
Looks like a late night of staying up and watching the live timing!
Anyone know the start order? EG what order the classes run in. Do all the faster riders from each class go first ?
Looks as though all the Club then Women's classes race first then into the senior trophy classes bottom 50% of E1 will race first then the top 50% of E1 in the second moto, same for E2 and E3 which will put all the top riders against each other.
Simmonds is Junior doh, he would have been handy in the MX style finish if in the Senior team.
