That DuVall injured wrist- 1st special first day we are no longer in competition for a repeat to win the Trophy. Sipes and Robert can let it hang out now to go for the individual overall.
That's a bummer. Oh, well we can still root the ladies and junior teams on. And don't forget the local club teams that qualified.

felt real bad in 2011 as Jess Gardiner broke a chain in a Special test on like day 4 or 5 right in front of me (spectating) Wish I had a chain to help her....she houred out after going all that way. Tough lady and great rider
Haha yeah it's the official beer of Aus that I've never seen anyone drink! Don't even know if you can buy it here. Think it stems back to the America's Cup days of early 80's. Putrid stuff that everyone OS thinks we drink.
