          Big T,
          I think they are in a very different league financially. #84 was an engine in a wrecked frame of a road bike when I first saw it 3 months ago. In the true privateer spirit it was built in a local workshop with a range of help. Both riders will proably enjoy the experience and the effort to get their bike to the line.

            If anyone is unfamiliar with the event, I recommend reading this article. This is the first time that the US has send a team over, and one of our riders in Cycleworld's Nick Ienatsch. Granted the British team includes a former MotoGP rider, and several winning Road Racers, so were are the underdogs for sure. While team USA is running mostly TZ750's there are a few GS based race bikes in our garage.
