[QUOTE="Frontpointer1000, post: 1439340, member: 65486"] I’ve seen this discussion on another forum as well. Number one I’ll state that, as Ignacio noted, the rally masters really want everyone to finish. There is no trickery, there is no changing of rules or funny play.There is sometimes additional information added at one leg or another that changes the gameplay. But that’s adding complexity to the strategy. There is sometimes additional information added at one leg or another that changes the gameplay. But that’s adding complexity to the strategy, not changing rules or playing games, per se. I felt that at each of the legs and that each rider meeting Jeff was extremely clear about the expectations. And noted number of points needed to be ON TRACK for finisher status. I was impressed and surprised by how clear Jeff was about given strategies of like 12 and three. At the initial meeting, he literally told us which areas of the country we should plan on riding in each leg. And stated he designed the rally to push us in certain directions at certain legs. Any rookie looking to finish would have done well to listen to that strategy. The support and the communication, I felt, were very clear. Michael Boge (KTM 300 guy) Knew where he was every single day in terms of finisher status. I know this because I spoke with him at least twice a day every day of the rally. We both hoped that the finisher bar would be dropped a little based on the play of the riders. However, this particular rally was impressive in many ways, not the least of which was the rookie Field rode hard, with high miles, and with lots of points. Therefore, and unfortunately, the finisher status held firm at 80,000 points. If any of you know Michael, you will know he is already strategizing about 2023 and how to get more daily mileage out of that little two-stroker. [/QUOTE]
