Who is going to bring it home? We all know it will yo-yo and it is hard to predict a winner. But I will have to say Toby, if he doesn’t break himself, if not Ricky or Daniel…..great event to follow, get on it x.

Espn we’re showing highlights last week of the 2021 race so they may be covering it
And maybe also Peacock.

I think that gives him (the option? ) of starting at the back of the first 15 tomorrow, in the first full stage. It's often/ most of the time, an advantage to Not lead out on a stage.
Go to advrider.com for a few different threads to follow. The "Firehose" there is almost a full time job to keep up with, each year. And, there's blokes there that seem to be able to provide more accurate info than ASO do.
Me, I've followed the Dakar since it first started, but I'm nowhere near as fanatical as a fair few posters over there.
Such a cool event.
Listening to Shorty and Brabec talk about it on pulp, it just sounds so wild.
It sounded like shorty didn’t think he would be staying on Yamaha after this race? (Maybe I picked up on something that wasn’t there though) Any rumors as to his plans for next year?
Pit Row
Benavides P14
Short P19
Price P22
Brabec P35
Still a lot of racing left.
The "yo-yo" seems to be back in swing this year with tricky navigation.
Impressive outing so far by Mason Klein, I hope he can keep it on 2 wheels and get a solid finish under his belt.
I expect Brabec to use a "calmer" strategy for a few days to get himself back in contention. I think he learned his lesson last year and he knows that he needs to make up small chunks of time instead of taking big swings and then having to lead out and lose time.
Lots of racing to go!
