rain, every change will decisively influence the rider’s

most expert player to the test. And it is the ground which
provides the greatest challenge: mud, dust, and dynamic
deformations will be the master of all, while the sounds of
engines running at full throttle, souped up with a brand new
engine, merge with the ambient noise of chainsaws.
