So sorry to read this, Josh. I was reading several reports about your record winning race last year and you, a normal guy, who's not ultra racing all the time, finally were the reason for me to become a blue dot follower this year. I was impressed of your dedicated preparations and your new rig. But, as you already mentioned, a lot can happen at the TD. So, please don't be too sad, go ahead and begin preparing for 2017. No, simply continue, as there wouldn't be a TD this year. We all want to see a second Kato comeback! Thank you and all the best from Europe.

I think it is one of the two German guys in the pack - Dieter Borsutzky

Yes, can confirm this. Rode with him across Germany some years ago. Fancy Gloves.

Thanks to the locals for all your great news.
