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

[Mad Cow]

On the snooker, if Graeme Dott wins this frame it's all over and we can go to Dakar coverage

Sadly it's McGuire leading at the moment

And for information there are no "numbered balls"

Ten Red balls (1 point), then one each of Yellow (2 points), Green (3 Points), Brown (4 Points), Blue (5 Points), Pink (6 Points) and Black (7 Points).

You pot a red (1 point) and it stays off the table.

Then you pot any other colour and score the relevant points, that ball is then returned to it's starting point.

Then you pot another red and so on.

Once all the reds are gone, you have to pot the other colours in the order of their points, i.e. yellow, then green, then brown etc this time they stay off the table until all are gone....

If at any time you fail to pot a ball, the other player takes over although if you are first on you can clear the table without your opponent ever getting out of his seat.

No it's not very interesting compared to Rally Raid is it!


Oh Sh*t! It looks like it's going to be McGuire to take it to 5 games all, he's at 113 - 0 and just finished the reds

Nope but it'll be mostly trucks when we get to it anyway.

I just scroll a lot lot of pages to keep , been very behind lots of hospital visit this week.

So searching how we can see the podium, but i did not found a good alternative for Chile TV National
continent block.

So as someone can find a working stream.

Like to see a quality screen podium.
Foxsport is not such a high quality.


Give me a PM or place a reply in the TV coverage thread.
I think i do not can filter the hose correctly to filter out response to this.

On every ball there stands "dive me you asshole so those F5reaks can watch the Dakar finally"

That would be sweet if it turns out to be correct.

[Flood]

Next bivouac rumor is that David Casteu has thrown in the towel and is out, according to @rallyraidnieuws



Verhaal in bivak gaat dat David Casteu heeft opgegeven. Heb daarvan nog geen bevestiging op de fax gezien

[Mad Cow]

Damn, McGuire won the frame to tie it at five each

But at least this means we are on the last frame (Best of eleven remember)

We want Dakar

We want Dakar

We want Dakar

We want Dakar

Not to bash the Japanese, when they get it right, they get it very right. But certainly not known for listening to a rider's opinion on how the bike should be built or how a team should be run. Stubborn does not even begin to describe it. Hence the frustration of having a 4-5 times world champ who has witnessed how a winning team should be run, trying to gather results within a competely different operating structure.

Italian / Japanese I was jjust off a bit.

How the hell do they find guys to comment on snooker games!?
