Dakar

Didn't know it was on! Fortunately my DVR remembered from last years settings.

 

US mini team out after awesome endo destroyed car
Peugeot top two in cars
Unusual as cars went off first
US riders Brabec just out of top ten at eleventh and Short down in twenty fifth
Barrera on a Honda leads overall
Yamaha top three in the quads
Russkies lead the trucks in their Kamaz
lots of thrills and spills
looks like another great series
programming times of the shows all over the place but at least it's there

 

I need to find it I love to watch what I can!

 

Stage 4
Standing start on the beach
The bikes were like a cavalry charge
last year's winner in the bikes, brit Sunderland out due to injury
US rider Brabec had a bad day and dropped out of top ten
Peugeot still in top three
Peterhansel on top and ,el matador, sainz in third
Awesome scenery, ocean and dunes then into the mountains

 

Running (or trying to run) in the dunes was crazy. All classes had major issues with vehicles upside down, injuries and general mayhem. Don't recall them having this much trouble in the sand. It's a shame that bandits and terrorists forced the move to South America but there are plenty of challenges on this continent.

 

Rally finished for another year
Sainz takes it for Peugeot
The new venues are spectacular
I'm still baffled how little interest this incredible test of man and machine receives
