Today from Greg and Joey,
The butterflies have kicked in!
Today we are busy setting up the individual preferences on the bike setup and fitting the nav gear.
We do scrutineering at 8am tomorrow and then ride the bikes to parc ferme in Monte Carlo.
Tomorrow evening at 7pm is the ceremonial start where we each ride over the podium and are presented to the public.
On the 5th off to the ferry for the crossing to Morocco and Stage 1 racing starts on the 7th.
Lyndon has put an awesome crew together and everything is superbly organised.
The bikes look fantastic and we have full sponsored gear from head to toe. Look factory!
Thanks for all of the well wishes!

Seems they have quite a big problem with one of the support vehicles.  Hope they can get that sorted asap

As far as I can remember the crank pulley.  The sweeper truck loaded it and they have to sort it out on the Moroccan side of the pond.

This coverage is going to be epic I think. I might be more amped for this than Dakar  :lol8: .
Love the attention to detail, both ito the organisation and bike/team prep as well as the little details in the edits explaining everything.
