    And the list is up - a shortage of established names outside say the top 5 or 6, but with these guys plus Walkner, Brabec and the satellite KTM riders it should be quick and interesting.:clap:clap - HRC - No Helder though, first time in a few years, or Jeremias:evil

    I think both Yamaha and Peugeot need to start racing their teams in the FIM events if they want to compete against the World Championship experienced teams at Dakar

    Go the Aussies ! I don't see Ben Youngs name on the list ? I thought he'd shipped his bike over for this, odd especially with Damo there. Did I miss something ?

    Yes, unfortunately Ben has had a nasty accident. My understanding is after a low speed off his arm ended up between the chain and the sprocket. Lots of soft tissue damage but no broken bones. There are pictures but I've refused to look at them.

    Gutted for Ben :cry

    Ridden with him here locally to Dubai and in Liwa in prep for this event. Was looking forward to the crack in the bivi

    I have just received terrible news our team shipping container from Australia has been wrongly off loaded in Singapore containing 3 of our team bikes, all 6 riders gearbags and team support truck with all our spares etc.
    We have been informed our container now wont arrive until 31 March!!!!
    We have exhausted all options for shipping from Singapore now I am left trying to sort a ride and gear etc.....

    Does anyone know of any decent bikes out there that would be available for the race? I can beg /borrow gear from here but really need a bike to start with.

    I like most have been planning this ride for over 6 months now and I really don't want to give up!!!

    Any suggestions???

    Shit, didn't know that but did notice he'd gone quiet, kind of had that odd feeling when I was asking the question.
    Thanks for the info, hope he has a full and rapid recovery.

    Hi Matt, what a disaster. Fingers crossed for you, I wish I could help mate.

    Who's bikes ? Yours, Charlies and Marks ?? No chance of flying them ?

    I think I saw something on here for a Honda that was ready to go, maybe someone can dig it up.

    Hey Neil

    My bike, Marks and Damien's I don't know what Mark and Damien are going to do yet. Flying the bikes from Singapore doesn't seem to be an option either unfortunately.

    Fuel dramas were never ending for me that day I think I stopped everyone cheers

    I've copied into the first post also - it will also be on Abu Dhabi TV, I'll if I can find a link, but from memory the 15 min TV clips are linked to the web site pretty quickly.

    I'll be glued to the event so will update what I can also.
