Wow, a year has gone already.
With no Toby Price in the bikes this year, i put the Outright Bike winners down to David Walsh or Callum Norton.
Dave has raced Finke 12 times and is proper fast
Callum is a young kid that we all taught to ride, and now leaves us all for dead.
He surprised them all last year in his first Finke and KTM have grabbed him as the next Toby Price.
Both lads have been pre racing the full race distance in 1 day with 1 hour for lunch at Finke, then riding back
That is 230km down, 1 hour for lunch and 230km back going full noise
One race engine lasted 20min before it melted, the second lasted 1 hour before it melted.
They have now backed the tune down and put in a thicker head gasket to drop compression.
I'd also love to see locals Shannon and Ian Rentsch take out the Car section again
But Red Bull have thrown so much money at this, they will be hard to beat and with Toby Price at the wheel, it would have to be a mechanical DNF again to stop them.
