The Team Arrive in Fig. da Foz

The team have now all arrived safely. We spent yesterday setting up our pits, unloading and sorting out the vans. All the 'Brits' are together in the pits which makes for a nice team atmosphere, with 32 riders there's a lot of organising to be done and with the help of Dave May-Miller everything will run smoothly.

Final jobs have been done to the bikes, so after a quick run out on the practice track later this week they should be ready to race. Julian, James & James are out walking tests today, with 7 tests a day there's a lot of walking to be done before the race starts on Monday 12 October.

The weather has been wet! To quote Julian 'We should have just gone to Merthyr Tydfil'. However, after a heavy downpour this morning the sun is now shining. From what we've seen of the tests the sandy going should suit the boys riding just nicely.
