Ladies & Gentlemen: The Husaberg Factory Team at their finest. Sort of. Check out Oriol Mena's new signature move. (:38)

Husaberg does a great job with their videos. You can catch several of them on the Home page of The Race Shop.

Looks like Oriol Mena has definitely got back into the spirit after a bad crash in May, busting up his ribs and last year's EWC collarbone breakage. This was the ’09 Enduro Junior World Champion's first year in the E3 class and he did alright, even got a podium one time.

Mika Ahola (Honda) is, as expected, the 2010 EWC Champion, a consecutive four time winner described as "a marvel of efficiency." A much deserved first time win for Ludivine Puy in the women's rally, the first time FIM has awarded a Female World Champion Enduro title.

And, speaking of women in enduro, Annie Seel finished the Australasian Safari 15th overall, the first woman to cross the line. The Australasian is great prep for the Dakar and almost as difficult. 112 bikes started the Australasian this year with only 64 of them finishing.

AND, speaking of Dakar, (you knew I'd get there) registration (for bikes) is already full four months prior to the start of Dakar 2011. Apparently, there are a lot more people than me ready for this thing to get going. Dakar begins Jan. 1 and continues for 16 days, allowing one day of rest, riding through Argentina and Chile.
