Anyone else watching this?
I love the old Eurosport style commentary on this feed, well worth watching from the 1st stages if youve not been watching already.
Dakar is the tale of small stories within a bigger novel, with ups and downs, smiles and frowns... and crashes. Er, hold on, Im starting to sound like the commentator lol
Anyway, well worth a watch. The best event of the year imho and the only racing i ever watch these days.
We are half way though at the mo, 7 days to go.
For newbies, this might help:

How’s about the car driver that ran over a stationary motorcyclist and then drove off without checking to see if he was all right
Video shows him rolling around in the sand in obvious pain
That driver should be disqualified

Yep that's it
And a second offence into the bargain, 5 minute penalty for the first incident sounds a bit soft to me
He's hit the rider and although it appears as if the rider has waved him through it's very apparent that the rider is hurt as he falls over
Responsibility should rest with the car driver to double check the victim is OK and not just drive off

I’ve kept abreast of Danilo’s progress. Seems he’s done well as a rookie, bar the accident and electric problem. Top bloke 👍

Anyway, its not all about accidents and bad news. Lets hope there is nothing nasty happening in week 2, just big scenery and big fun.
This is the short round up of the first week.

I should add that if you click 'watch on youtube' and click on the Dakar uploader name and then look at the English feeds you can watch all the daily 10 min programs in order from the index. ...or you can click this link which should give you the daily vids, just refresh the page each day: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSmCFH46WIXYdc4LSxg_3IbqSHG2E6E2w |
