Dakar 2013 - Official Event Coverage - thank you ALL TeamF5, lurkers and posters!

On my radar, especially the new Evo2 kit. Gorgeous

He did say that, but sometimes his data and translations are a little off.

True. F5 getting news from him, that would really be something special

Planet Earth - Atacama Desert on France 4

one thing I didn't get is why pedrero didn't wait for cdp. Caselli was 4 minutes down the road and Cyril only got pedrero at wp5....150km. A lot can happen in 150km

:eek1

Don't forget Darts!

caselli thru WP11 - looks like he is moving again.

Pisco! Piscolas and Pisco sours... mmmmm mmmmmm good!

Watching those trucks leaving the bivouac... Anyone else having "The end of 2013 Dakar" withdrawals?

YAAY, KC!

LUIS thru WP7

Lyndon is making great progress on the 2nd portion of the stage today!


I don't really understand how snooker can trump the Dakar over on ES but I live in a place where fishing is a pro sport so I'll just go lie down by my dish.

Yep, We made a full gallon of Pisco Sour last night....Its gonna be a rough off season after this Dakar

My nerves are shot. Adrenaline pumping.

"oooooohaaaaaaah...."



the sound of 500,000 us sphincters relaxing over the internet...

Just saw this, too. Great news!

Sucks seeing his WP results going from 1st to 40th, though

Still.. It's his first Dakar.. Getting to the finish line is ultimately a lot more important than a stage result I think

K N Fodder, that's a candidate for post of this years Dakar thread for me. Fantastic.
