The first time I went to southern lima, the combination of moon like terrain and fog really made me feel like at the end of the world. Have you seen the images? They were riding without goggles! It must have been hell out there.

Talk about a impressive ride racing with a broken wrist.
According to the regulations of the Dakar, pilots can not add more notes to the roadbook than those marked by the organization, either in its first version -produced months in advance- or with the last-minute additions that the ASO commissioners they point during the 'opening' tour that they realize hours before the beginning of the stage to detect possible last minute changes in the route.
Rivera denounces that few pilots are governed by the indications of the roadbook, while most take advantage of the advice given by their personal 'map men' (map specialists) to alter the route and look for shortcuts that sometimes , they even appear marked in the roadbook against the regulation.
"I'm in the bivouac and I find a curious thing here," says Rivera in his video. "We all know what the front guys are doing and the traps they do, and I say traps, yes, and cheats, because today I followed the roadbook to the letter and having left all the bikes and all the cars in front and all the buggies, incomprehensible that there was not a trace, then on the waypoints and the CPs [control point] there were the tracks again, all trimmed, all tricked ... this is a trick, "says the Spaniard, who defines the situation as "a house of whores, go misery, here there is a lot of money, the one who pays, they look the other way".
During the video, Rivera reviews the notice posted by the organization during the night of Tuesday reminding the pilots the prohibition to modify the roadbook with new annotations: "'Additive for other days: add any kind of supplementary information in the roadbook, CAPS, directions, useful geographical indications for navigation, distances, GPS points, or privileged information, the traps that are planned these teams at night to win each other and that everyone here knows, now the organization admits to know and it does not do anything, 'well we'll apply it another day', "Rivera says with irony.
The Aragonese trusts that this warning from the organization of the Dakar serves so that "we all have the same", but then adds: "Well, here is never going to be this way, those who pay in these cases always have privileges. This stinks, "adds the 36-year-old pilot.
And then there are also complaints about the organization's Roodbook

Pit Row
I’ve been off Cyril since he got caught in a bog hole/creek, and when some rider/s helped him out he just jumped back on the bike and got the fuck outta there. Ol mate who helped him out was devastated that he was dogged. It was pretty much a cunt act.
Probably about 7 years ago or so
