    Aussie in the lead at DAKAR rally

    I know I've seen this thread here, but I can't find it. So-

    Dakar Rally: Australian Toby Price extends overall lead over 35 minutes after stage 11 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I think this is his 2nd attempt at the Dakar - he was 3rd last year. Will have to see what happens on the last stage. With a 30 minute lead he can afford to take it a bit easy. Unfortunately one mechanical problem or a fall could stop him - hope that does not happen.

    Regardless of how big the lead, the Dakar is never won until the final stage. Im certainly hoping Toby takes it out this year. Actually great to see any aussie in the top 10 IMHO.

    He's tough, he won the Finke this year after breaking his right ankle and foot prior to the race.

    He also came back the day after splitting a testical, and finished a race.
