Default Dakar reminder and chat

Thought I'd start a thread for Dakar stuff and as a reminder. Coverage on British Eurosport for those who have it. Myself I usually keep up via the web.

Starts for real tomorrow? Bit of a parade tonight, shame that Eurosport doesnt do more coverage of it. Theyre only short highlights.

Just in case you get bored of watching Irons dig a hole, want to see some Dakar highlights, and don't have Eurosport

Loving the Mini Dakar at the end of the Youtube video.
I always fancied a go in one of the big trucks

The bikes have smaller engines this year, down to 450cc from 690cc, if I heard that correctly?

Yes that's right. There were 450's last year, and the 690's were restricted to the same power at the air intake. This year it's all 450's.

I watched the Charlie Boorman series when he did it.

It looks rock hard, fair play to Charlie who rode for a day with a broken hand.
