Anyone here following it?

A few good stories to follow - Aussie rider Ben Grabham (ISDE class winner) doing his first Dakar, and a comeback from one of his last rally events where he hit a group of kangaroos whilst doing 160kph+....According to Grabbo, he's taking it easy so far, riding at about 60%. He's inside the top 20 now.

Other Aussies doing pretty well so far also, especially Matt Fish in 6th

Kurt Caselli from the US doing pretty well, inside the top 10.

That's a dream race of mine some day (at a casual pace of course.) The top guys are as gnarly as they come. I didn't know Caselli was out there, that guy's such a solid racer.

Click this link DJ and type his name into the search section at the top of the page

Click Here DJ

About 95 Articles where he is mentioned, one of the top Australian Off Road Racers that is more know for the Desert racing events in Aus, A lot like the other guys racing this year, Like Faggotter, Grabham, the Smith Brothers.

Mainly see them doing races like the Condo 750, Hattah, Aus Safari, Finke all the high speed wide open balls out stuff.

Think there is going to even be a three round Dessert racing series in WA next year, should be interesting Smile
