When it rains it pours! On second thought...

Theft then fire. From a positive side, maybe they didnt have as much to burn.

If everybody taking pictures with their phones were trying to help put out the fire with a Dixie cup, it would have been out before it started.

I was actually going the opposite way and took a quick pic.

Taking a quick piss might have been better.

Glad everyone can find humor in this. Just down right sucks for BTO. I'm sure there was a lot of money that went up in flames and considering the parts theft during SX this can't be good.

Their misfortune is unfortunate. As long as no one was hurt, all should be good. No one is in a championship hunt and insurance will cover what was lost. What's important is hopefully no one was hurt. It definitely sucks tho but they are a top team with good resources. Hopefully all is figured out and it never happens again.

Will Short have another bike to race? It would be a shame if his last race he must sit out.

Word on what started the fire and the occupancy?

I see mini kids with 4-6 bikes at a race.
No reason a pro effort shouldn't be able to have 2 and 6 in parts.
