Started yesterday. America’s Ricky Brabec who won last year is in second place after two sessions. It’s on NBCSN here. Both top two riders are on Hondas. Yams, KTMs and Huskys make up the field. Brabec said they’re all worried by the rule that they can only use six sets of tires for the whole race. Seems prohibitive and the cars are known to have flats 2-3 times (a day) on occasion. Wonder why? Exciting to watch, especially the big trucks. Some of vehicles are pretty trick, being able to adjust tire pressure on the fly for example. High end GPS units are also in use, and some still get lost. Saudi Arabia sure is a desolate place. Anyone else watching? Bumblebee, you ever have boots down in that sand pile?
