Ok, no American, other than Jimmy Lewis back when BMW motorcycles owned the race, has ever finished on the podium at the Dakar. And it aint gonna happen again this year. Robby Gordons has guided his Bardini into, well.. Thirty somethingth place and will be lucky to finish.
The big story is Roma and peterhansel and Al allatiyah are dominating the race in minis. They dominated it in Volkswagens and now they own it in cars in minis. The race is in the end of the third stage.
Now, for the bikes. A young Spaniard, barreda bort is leading the first big money honda effort in years. Unlike most years, where only one brand of bike seriously competed, KTM, Yamaha, Honda have all talen aim at the prize, with yamaha hiring the evil cyril despres to win it all... And he will, he is lurking in second waiting for the honda to falter. The usual guy behind deres, marc coma, is in third.
