Has anyone been watching the Dakar?

They are the bad-asses in racing IMO.

Yes, we have the DVR to record the daily updates every year. Some good coverage of some very tough racers on bikes, cars, quads and 35,000 pound trucks.

Aussie Dakar title-holder Toby Price broke his leg :'(

yea I was surprised by that, hopefully the no longer rookie form the west coast can bring it home for us.

I admit to kind of rooting for Toby to fly. Cuz he CAN fly.
Now that he's out, wouldn't mind the yank making a show of it. (even though he's on red instead of blue)

But yes, we DVR every year. And yea, it's the bad dudes of the world that do this stuff.
There are some things the rest of the world is crazy about that Americans just don't get.

Been watching it every night at midnight on Sports Network 1.

Most defnitely! Been watching the all too short half hour highlights show for a few years now. I'm definitely rooting for Ricky, as the ONLY American racing, but I'm not too sure about that one hour penalty that was assessed on all the Honda riders, how did they goof so bad? I did see a brief shot of a Yamaha YXZ1000 (their new sport side by side)...and of course the quad class is dominated by Yamaha and the mighty Raptor 700...

Much like the nutters in IOM TT. But I can't get it here, have to make do with a few YouTube vids ::009::

I am in awe of these guys! Yesterday's video shows two South Africa riders one has been videotaping his ride he comes upon his friend down with a broken leg!! He tore a ligament in his left knee and has it taped with a brace and pain pills. He is visibly shaken by his friends broken leg. Tough... really tough riders.
They also show Toby Price in the hospital bed and he shows his X-ray of his broken leg. Broken in four places and says they put a rod in his leg! Damn!!!

Rooting for Ricky Brabeck (sp?), even if he is on a Honda...

 

[bob dirt]

He won stage 7 on Monday ::012::...AND he has won 3 Baja's (250, 500, & 1000)

Today's stage 9 was cancelled.
