10) Bjorne Carlsson Husaberg 3rd 500 4-stroke
11) Jani Laaksonen Gas Gas 3rd 250 2-Stroke
Thoughts?
Husqvarna is still the bike to have in the big 4-Stroke Classes..bet there will be a lot of in-expensive Husky's around. They obviously can work. Same with VOR's. VOR makes a good one as well just there isn't enough teams out there (yet) to prove their ability. Yamaha owns the 250 4-Stroke class with no one in sight to challenge. Husqvarna owns the 125 2-Stroke Class. The team with the worst dollar to win ratio? KTM. Very few Husabergs and not as many KTM's on top as would be anticipated. They did get the 400 class win. But look at all the Husky's! And VOR had two team riders. One won the overall and one didn't finish in the top placings.
Want a cheap replica of the overall winner? Get a 2002 VOR 530MX and add lights..
Didn't see any Cannondales, Gas-Gas, TM's, Honda's, Suzuki's etc in contention for the Four Stroke honors. 4-Strokes were basically a Yamaha, KTM, Husqvarna, and VOR game.
Also looks like the really nasty almost winter conditions favored power.
