I have a 3 shot sequence of the winning bike that was ridden during the race at various times by Robby Bell, Kendall Norman and Johnny Campbell. They finished the race in 12 hours 29 minutes and 18 seconds averaging 50.56 mph. The photos were taken at Mile 515 and are a 1 second burst. The rider in these photos completely fooled me as I was standing about 75 feet below the crest of the mesa and couldn't see him coming but hoping I was in a great place to fire off some shots as he flew over the top but he opted to take another track and my friend came running and started pointing towards my left and there is was on another road and I was lucky to get even a photo of him as he was flat out ripping. It was 15 more minutes before the second bike arrived and I believe this team finished about 23 minutes in the lead.I have included a photo of his chase helicopter that always gives us a warning the lead bike is moments away or I should say seconds away as was this case. In the last photo (Mile 515) in the background you can see the Erendira cell phone tower.
