You know, the dakar isn't that great with respect to the interference that the DS riders get from cars. It seems to not only add a level of extreme danger but it even slows them down. Visibility is so poor due to the cars that you would think that the longer you can stay ahead of them teh more advantage you have. They should seperate them more and I know it adds alot of cost to support. The size of the dakar support crew with all those cargo planes and helicopters is impressive.

I found that the coverage of the DAKAR is getting worse and worse every year. This year is extremely disappointing because you get 10 min of yesterdays run, then 5 min of bikes; 5 min of cars and 2 min of trucks with inbetween the results and commercials...I think it is almost 10 min of commercials.

I thought that at least with Robbie Gordon running you might get some decent coverage, but no... you get a shot of Robby Gordon which takes up half of the 5 min alotted to the cars.

I was hoping to see Tina (flying angel) in the crowd somewhere as that is where she is right now...riding along with the wife/girlfriend of one of the riders. She started the event at the first rest day and is now following the group to the finish in DAKAR.

Alas no Tina and hardly any coverage either. :wi::wi:
