from the reports I am reading the competitors are very impressed with the terrain they are riding in China ( the dunes section/stages are the best they have ridden/drove in the world) and the response they are getting from the Chinese people is amazing
Three more stages to go and there in Beijing(couple more days I think.) That would be something to see.Last edited by bigdamo; 06-27-2008 at 12:43 AM.

The Taklamakan Desert is the second largest in the world with about 750kms of nothing but dunes. It' really is an amazing place.
Pavey seems like he's having a difficult but good time there. Where are you reading the reports and don't be bashful about posting pictures!

and they post a report/video of the previous day on youtube under transorientale.
They have passed through the Taklamakan desert a couple of days ago their now in the Gobi desert which I think they started in Xinjiiang and continued through the Gobi into Inner Mongolia by all reports the Gobi is better than the Taklamakan desert.
