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

Team Redverz - Kevin Muggleton to Dakar 2013


Update. Yesterday I went over a dune and broke my back, the dakar air ambulance was there in minutes and quickly filled up with other riders at the same scene.

After flying to Lima I'm immobilized here for 4 days before I fly back to Denver and will need surgery for a few pins in my back.

I replayed the scene many times, and other than the benefit of hindsight, I would have taken the same line, and speed 9 times out of 10.

Going into this Dakar I felt strong mentally and physically, and didn't get enough days under my belt. My body will heal quickly, but unfortunately the Dakar is the most addictive and expensive drug you can buy, and its hard to give up.

Perhaps it's premature, and I'm high as a kite on morphine, but I now have everything I need to run the Dakar , and if the Gods and stars are aligned I want to race Dakar 2014. 345 days

Thank you all for your support and kind words, it hurts more than you can imagine to let you down.

Verhoeven did pretty well though, 8th now +7m22s, 7th overall. Steady as a rock.

+1 Come on Johnny, it's this way

Despres, overall lead and starts 3 rd tomorrow - what can you say other than he should be 2nd and starting 4th

The Group F5 rally class is bringing in equipment that powerful, everyone is totally unprepared for it. The FIA will probably intervene with new legislation.

works for me
