Time Station #1 -- Four Contenders

At the first time station in Pine Valley, the four favorites were very close to each other. Marko Baloh, Juré Robic, Christoper MacDonald and Mike Trevino all came through within six minutes of each other. Baloh was the 2004 Furnace Creek solo winner and will certainly give Robic and Trevino a challenge. Mike is feeling comfortable and waiting for the heat of the California desert. He spends a lot of time training in the heat and believes he has a huge advantage over the Europeans.
