I may have been wrong about the channel for Lyndon Poskitt's daily vlog.

It appears it is at his channel; Lyndon Poskitt Racing.

Id happily take riding lessons from her.

I'm rooting for veterans Svitko and Pain.

Toby Price I think is the favorite to win.

I would like to see Joan Bereda do well this year. He has had back luck, mostly through no fault of his own.

No Africa Twins. The rally is now limited to 450 cc these days. Long gone are the days of the big bikes.

Rooting for Brabec as well, since he's an American and all.  I also think he has a chance to do well as long as he keeps his head on straight. 

[greatbuffalo]

I agree

This video shows how brutal and unpredictable the Dakar can be.

watched the coverage of stage one last night, don't remember his name but one of the bike guys broke a vertebrae in the first mile!  that's bad luck..
