If you rented one for this race, here they are getting put together out of the crate.

Hard to read in spanish, but it looks like Taylor Robert is in 4th after the 6th special test today.
Clubman rider - TeamGoFasters.com, as far as I know. This is Not written to knock the young man - I've enjoyed following his adventures - the experiences he's getting through his being able to do the ISDE(s) are something very special, that few youngsters will ever have - it's just written so as not to have the wrong info on him out there.
If indeed he has been elevated to the Junior Trophy Team, well, that's an incredible honor for him. Whatever his status, I wish him, and all competitors, the best of luck / the best of events. The last 6 Days I got to was Germany - spectator only at that event - and it's something epic. Next one I get to is Wales, I think, though I'm trying to get to Czecho next year, if I can tye it in with the MXDN.
His dad does great reportage of the event - far better than most Journalists / mags efforts. I hope a few here follow Josh / the event.
I think / hope Matthes is joking when he goes on about how Zach Osborne shouldn't be doing the Six Days. I love seeing high level MXers / SXers breaking out of their near hermetically sealed and regimented lives, and doing something different. Competing for your country should never be criticized, even if jokingly.
This info is not confirmed yet but if true I will be spewing!
Pit Row
Daniel Milner is out with a crushed finger, got it squished between his bars and a rock in a crash

The club teams rocked day 1! It'll be a long week...but hopefully, today is an indication of a GREAT week.
"Ride like Caselli"...
His "travelogue" of a days course, using descriptions of various places / races (that, after over 4 decades of reading US mags and now pretty much that amount of time travelling to and from your country, I'm pretty familiar with) to decribe that days course. I think it was in an interview Chilly White got from him, and / or it was from the Six Days DVD. It was a wonderfully laconic / down to earth way of describing that the course was very much what he / many US riders could deal with. KC was so much more than just a fast motorcycle rider. .
Bummer that Milner, for OZ and 'Zachy Pooh' (Copyright : Pooky Matthes) are out so early. A countries Team can still do well with just 5 riders left. Though, it's a long way till the finish, a zillion things can happen. And by the look of things, it's a fast course - arid zone races are like that. Not my favourite terrain, though it's what I mostly ride in.
However, it's gonna be tough being one guy down already, doable though, they are just gonna have to be flawless.
Looks silty, probably filters at every pit I'd imagine for the top guys, can't be too careful with 5 days of hard riding to go. I'd be curious to know how many filters the KTM service truck brought!
I'm predicting Taylor Robert to start getting some test wins in the coming days. He should be "in the groove" after today.
Bummer for the Aussies about Milner.
