I think what pains me the most is he was better on the rim than I would be on that bike with the tire!I think to me the best was the guy out of the running so donated his tire to someone still challenging Ricky. He finished the stage on the bare metal rim. Not a Street tire, not 50/50! Not a knobby but a damn metal slick on the sand!
I think the bare rim in sand is better than one of those unsafe Mitas E-07's with the chevron tread pattern. LOL LOL... He finished the stage on the bare metal rim. Not a Street tire, not 50/50! Not a knobby but a damn metal slick on the sand!
He had a good front tire to steer. Rear tire is not as important as the front. I have run on just a front rim and it sucks.I think the bare rim in sand is better than one of those unsafe Mitas E-07's with the chevron tread pattern. LOL LOL

That was Americn rider Andrew Short who gave his tire to Toby Price. I was a bit surprised by that, since Andrew was riding for team Husqvarna while Toby is the lead rider (and previous Dakar winner) for the juggernaut that is team KTM. All part of the spirit that is Dakar.
And don't forget we had TWO US class winners this year! Casey Currie handily won the SxS(SSV) class.

I've never "heard" anyone speak ill either. Probably have bumped into 300-400 people using them over the last 4 years. But there is one member on this forum who has never tried one that likes to type ill of them every chance he gets. That's who I was quoting when I posted that.I have never heard anyone speak ill of the E-07s.........
