A Real Battle

March 27th, 2008 Posted in General

There’s a real battle going on for the 4th - 5th - 6th places… Take a look at the leaderboard to watch these teams swap places.  Right now at CP16 just 13 minutes separates the threesome.  Team Extreme-Sports.dk has taken the lead of this group and moved into 4th place.  Mikael from Sweden had a big problem with his bike and a new bike was brought to him lent by Andy of Team Feed the Machine.  It took a couple of car trips and a couple of motorcyles and about 3 hours to make it happen.  But after much walking with the broken bike and some towing and pushing and a little running, the team has managed to bring themselves back up in the rankings.  Seems this team is moving quicker at night when the temps are cooler, the adjustment from the Swedish winter to the intense Baja sun is a tough one.
