I will put down good money that they will not broadcast it, they will rather show "2010 - The Legacy" 12 times a week, and run 7 repeats of each and every rugby game every week.

Kulhavey is riding as well, will be interesting to see who is the "team leader".

Thanks for pointing that out. Here is the 2013 entry list (attached). MARATHON_EL_ME.pdf

OK, so it is one of those, things, where a false sense of protection is achieved without providing the actual protection. I agree, a full face should be a proper full face, since it inspires confidence it should provide more protection.

OK, I will just chat to myself here, but some more information for those interested: Start List - Elite Men: The route is 94km with 4400m :eek: of climbing. Start Time: Saturday 08:00 Route Profile: There is an easier 56km ride as well with only :whistling: 2700m of climbing.

Well, for round 2, the route will only be unveiled on race weekend. Nice when race organisers value rider input. More here: http://dirt.mpora.com/events/enduro-world-series-round-two-val-dallos.html
