Wouldn't that be cool... but with the bike limited at 450 cc now... can't happen. :)

So,

Two ladies racing bikes and one in a car this year... all three way cuter and about a million times tougher than Danica Patrick.

Only one American this year... but he is Honda's A rider! Who knows, is another American going to make it to the podium?

Well, last years app was awesome... but the 30 minute coverage is commercial free and really good. The app is android only right now :-(

Wow beez, in one sentence you managed to sound like an aging baby boomer in love with a dilapidated farm implement and a teen age girl arguing about whose telephone is best :)

And still, you have contributed nothing to my "let's buy Mr. E an overpriced dune buggy and send him to a certain death" Kickstarter account (it really is out there.)

Found the program and hit "record series." So, I'll at least get to watch the review of each day. Too bad I have one of those old antiquated and no-good iPhone 6 devices that just can't keep up with the Beeze and his android device.

Worry not, the app is out for iphone. Also the dakar facebook page will have a lot of live coverage.

Last years bike champ is out with a broken leg and the evil Cyril Desprrs, really, is in the lead IN A CAR NOW!

Can the man not be stopped.

App coverage doesn't seem like it is much more than a repeat of what is available on the website. Man, I wish the 30 minute wrap up show lasted an hour for a little deeper coverage and more shots of the race; especially, when they spend time repeating stuff from the previous day.

A whole new cast of young riders in the lead... but American Ricky Brabec won a stage today, first American in a loooongntime to win a Dakar stage on a bike.


He is giving almost 65 pounds advantage to the race leader. We'll see as the race goes on what factor weight plays. It is hard to win a motorcycle race if you weigh more than 165 pounds...

RIcky is super tall too, lets see if the Honda can get him to the podium as we get into the flat out desert race.

We just need to stay way the hell away from Peterhansel.

On a side by side, we'd never even meet peterhansel

So, a Brit, Sunderland, has won the first British Dakar title at 27. still the big bike story.

peterhansel and the evil Cyril Despres are 1st an 3rd in cars... both multi bike champs... but this is Peterhansels 13th overall... 6 on a bike and 7 in a car. The reigning WRC champ, Loeb, was 2nd in a car. All puegot on the podium. KTM, as always, dominates the bike race.
