I thought the dakar started today on tv.
Our coverage use to be really good when I was younger from memory it was on for most of the day but now it is hardly worth watching as you just see the major guys
I have to agree, coverage use to be alot better a number of years ago. I love the dakar, is the only race that I can not get enough of. One Aussie is 19th in the bikes and 20 in the cars after stage 2.Quote:

it's on eurosport half an hour before the sbs coverage,
last night there were some differences between the two presentations, but mostly the same footage,
yep i agree, too many repeats padding out the half hour.
for a race thas 75 trucks this year, it will be interesting to see if we see more than the lead four or five.
just gotta love robby gordon in the hummer, how was the lift in the run through the starting dias?
and as usual, it is hard to find the land rover derivatives,
the eoropean money is hard to beat.
Watch euro sport as Clatin Kirby does it and that is the uk version he will tell you where the Brits are which is normally always land rovers of some sort. Wildcats, or bowlers or warriors
it really is a if you blink you miss it kind of program
Yep. Eyes for the Dakar 2014:)Quote:

Photo is me in 2012 Australasian Safari where I finished 12th overall and 6th in "Super Production 450cc" class.
I will try my best to watch it
The "Race to Recovery" Land Rover team got a good spot of airtime in the SBS coverage today. Only one of the four cars still running in the event. The interview with one of the team really makes you realise how devastating it is being ejected from this event. These are tough ex-military duds that have been wounded in action and know all about suffering and overcoming difficulties ... hard to watch him struggling to hold back tears! Heroes for giving it a go.
I haven't done any reading of the classes or regs, but how do they differentiate in that they call the MINI a car but the Sainz vehicle a "buggy"? The only difference I can see is 4WD vs 2WD. The MINI certainly doesn't bear any resemblance to any MINI you can buy off the showroom floor!
Continued coverage of the top couple of crews/riders can get a bit boring. The best value to me are the "what you missed" snippets where they cover the real people down the back doing it tough!
Looking forward to cheering on JayBo next year!!! :D
Cheers,
