2017 Dakar Rally

[Lonesome Dave]

I meant to post this weekend and then forgot!  The 2017 Dakar Rally starts today!  At least I got my first recording today.  The DVR remembered from last year.
It's airing on NBCSP, most days at 4:30 pm and around 10 am on weekends.  Don't forget to record it.

my DVR remembered too!   watched the first stage coverage last night.. also there is a Dakar 2017 app.  rooting for Laia! and of course Brabec.

it appears Price is out due to injury, could KTM's 16 year winning streak be in danger???

Kinda looking like 17 now, unless Sunderland crashes hard.

Sounds like the American is done, bummer

[Fletch]

the rumor is........ Brabec to KTM next year... maybe an American will win in 18?

[Lonesome Dave]

Maybe he'll change and just stay red, a brighter red.  Then they'll all be in trouble!  Probably going to have to buy more Betas to fund that one.

I will take Beta over Zongshen in 2018.   

They didn't have very good luck. 3 or 4 riders and all were gone by the 5th stage. It's hard to finish a race when your bike starts on fire.

Did Zongshen really have a team?

They did! I suppose it was a marketing strategy. They had almost zero chance of winning.
