How amazing does Argentina and Chilie look? (Especially in HD:cool:)

Who would have thought it?

Highlight for me so far was seeing Rudi Schenker rocking like a hurricane on top of his VW.

Sorry.:(;)
Bloody Germans eh?

To kill it a little bit, is that photo rotated a bit?

Wow! Well done Cyril Despres!

Much respect to Marc Coma! Look at his time variation, 6hrs 32. If he hadn't had the 20 hour penalty for having to take somebody else's back wheel...

Tamsin Jones, British rider (instructor at Si Pavey's BMW school in Wales), muchos respecto girl! Youngest woman ever to finish the Dakar!

161 bikes started this year, only 88 finished.

Loving these pics, and there has been some great TV coverage as well. I'm sooooo in awe of those guys (and gals)!
