Red Bull Rampage Results

First, please allow me to apologise for my lack of updates since Interbike's close last Tuesday. If you had been in Virgin Utah watching practise and qualifying rounds at this year's Rampage I'm certain you would forgive me. If I had to use one word to describe what I was a witness to in the Utah desert, it would be simply this... DISTURBING. Pictures don't do this place justice. As if the steeps, drops, gaps and jumps weren't enough, the exposure is absolutely nuts. One misplaced landing or some miss-timed braking and that's it, you're into a freefall. While I rest my weary bones, remove the dust and sand from my shoes and the crack of my @ss, and prepare the audio and visual goodies, have a look at the start list and final results from the Rampage. Stay tuned for more in the upcoming days, there's mucho Interbike coverage that needs posting as well. Final Results
