 Glad they're all racing again. Not sure about Dan though, I thought he was part of the DH team this year? I was also wondering, is Gee sponsored by Mitsubishi instead of Jeep? I noticed the Mitsubishi logo on the jerseys during that fox hunt last year and now I also see him with something that doesn't look like a Jeep.

 Looks like a Cherokee or Grand Cherokee to me. Also, you can faintly see the Jeep logo on the center of the steering wheel.

 Anyone else notice Gee's rear brake is on this left hand? The UK is a bit backwards I suppose.

 Any country that drives on the opposite side of the road (left side) UK, Australia, NZ, Japan......etc. The brakes are usually switched. This is so they can perform hand signals while riding in traffic, and still cover the rear brake. MTB came along way after that standard was put in place, and it just stuck.

Many think it has to do with moto but I call bs on that, cuz you can't mount the rear brake to a pedal.

 @FTOD: English motorbikes do have the rear brake on a pedal, the clutch at the left hand and the front brake on the right hand. Or at least old english bikes do.

 @twelvemonths: you're right.....and it's the same (for the most part) here in Canada. However, it's my belief that it has more to do with the side of the road you drive on, than familiarity with a motorcycle. Since it's more likely that you rode a bicycle, in life, before you operated a motorcycle, it seems to make more sense to me.
