Hi Rod, cheers again for doing this. I'm having a little bike racing downtime over the winter but will edit and sticky in time for the season!

Thanks,

Pat

Greetings Pat and happy new year to you. Maybe a bit of Dakar viewing which should start in the next few days will warm you up. Looking forward to an entertaining year of racing with the changes that have taken place in the various series.
