	As far as I could gather (from watching last year :-) "liaison" just
means they have to get there; "special" means the timed part of the
stage.  For example, from the hotel to the start line is a liaison stage
:-)

ObTriumph: Was it last year or the year before that someone entered on a
Tiger?  John Deacon maybe?  NUTTER!
