I guess there's no place for duct tape on factory bikes.

Looking at the mud, it is logical the french won because this is how the bike of any serious youngster looks like at least 10% to 20% of the year. Except near "Provence", it is not Cali or Florida ... The British team could almost have had their own Maggiora 86 by playing a mudder wild card like Simpson.
Long story short:
A couple years ago a magic product for mud came out. Basically a product keeping the bike clean. Was it a total scam ???
If you are asking what you do in the heat of the moment after the moto 1 DNF, its pretty simple... You go hop on the truck and steal a Showa shock, throw the right spring rate in it, bolt it up and head out for Moto 2...

I'll say that again. (Well, actually about the fourth time since Monday) It...was...a...rock.
Well, actually I imagine a piece of Flint, which Matterley Basin is coved in. You know, that stuff they used to make arrow heads out of? A piece of duct tape wouldn't have stopped a flint wedge from prising that collar open.
You wold have to compress the spring enough to lift the retainer up and out and do it all at the same time.
I get mud packing in the area of the retainer but man that seems very weird to me and even so with it happening twice.
Would any of you here be able to do that? How long does it actually take you to wash your bike after a mud race?
Would be great to have hindsight and a week to come up with a dodgy resolution that is strong enough to stop mud that's been basically hydraulically rammed into the spring cup every time the shock bottoms,but they didn't.
Get over it and stop looking for someone to blame for the USA's lose. Accept it for what it was, a failure that hadn't presented itself in a whole year of racing and testing, and an ass whooping by certain French, Dutch and English riders
to the rest of the world.
