In moto it's closer. Faria is leading ahead of Despres. :D I don't know if he will try to resist him ... he has to change his engine probably... Lopez hasn't change his engine too, but he is not from KTM Red Bull team, so he will try to match them. And moreover, engine change by Despres wasn't for a new engine, but an old one which have done the beginning of the race. So Lopez is at the same point as him. I hope for a big battle btw them ! Yamaha boys since too far (even if Pain has limited his lost), and only Husqi boy fighting is Botturi, and I'm not sure he has the speed too catch KTM's. But he has the regularity.

Just a small note. Unlike Kamaz trucks the Tatras are different for each team and also the two teams are not in the best relationship. None of them is factory and each team built their trucks somewhat different. For example trucks of Loprais and Kolomę have very little common. The biggest difference is engine. Loprais has Deutz and Kolomę uses Buggyra.Quote:

And I have a question : are Kamaz and Tatra well know brand in Central and Eastern Europe ? I never see any of them in Western Europe.
Yes, they are. Kamaz is rather huge in Russia and in the east but I have never seen any here in central Europe. Tatra used to be much bigger company before the fall of socialistic block. Now they produce around 1500 trucks per year, almost all of them are for terrain or military use, that's why You don't see them on motorways. Last year they signed some partnership with DAF, let's see if it helps them.
