After a long and tiring slog out to NZ the GB squad are all present and correct - back on their feet running - the rain and cloud that greeted them on arrival at Taupo on Thursday afternoon was burned off this morning (friday) by bright sunshine and in the crisp morning air the bikes were un-crated, riders signed-on and off for test rides on the Yamaha test track.

Next on the agenda is finding and walking all the special tests in the dramatic, alien volcanic terrain - complete with sulphur springs and steam rising out of the ground!

More reports as the preparations focus on the approach of the event start on Tuesday 14th.
