The KTM A4DE PROVISIONAL RESULTS: have finally been posted but it may have been kinder for Kiwis if they hadn`t as we were well and truly dicked, again.
We do not know the reason for the two unfortunate DNFs yet [we trust injuries were not the reasons] but they meant that the Kiwis were never going to prevail. Even if those riders had zeroed though, a perusal of the results indicates that the outcome would have been the same.
Oh well back to the drawing board and bring on the 2004 A4DE
The Oceania Team result is as follows:
