2016 OFFICIAL DAKAR f5irehose - THANK YOU ALL F5 posters and lurkers!

And there's that athlete mentality of "Crushing the Competition" which has an ever lasting effect for years to come.

(2) @GoncalvesSpeedy has been evacuated by helicopter and taken to the nearest hospital for inspection. #ForçaPaulo

Pablo pushing hard to get that third spot on the podium

When it rains.....it pours
I hope he is allright

Yeh, although once he and Benavides caught Svitko I thought they would just shadow him,,,,,,,,,,, maybe they just ride to slowly

Given the second half of the stage is supposedly wrc style....if Loeb can keep this pace in the first half there is a good chance he takes the stage win. I am not sure why I like that but I do

And how I became a Cyril fan is simply beyond me but I keep cheering for him now that he is in a car

Is it too early to speculate what riders will be on team HRC next year?

DW

But sometimes it is difficult to ride at a slower pace, if you are comfortable and in the zone keep going, a change can interfere with concentration and lead to an accident.

Ian's really stepped it up! Ridiculously solid times through WP7!

That's an understatement!

MANUEL IS AT CP 1

Whoever they are they will be wc's for BB

HRC's mind baffling strategies defy F5 logic

Hmmm, I'd like to hear the story behind these. Often there's trouble with guys in the snowball, but Sergey is not that far back. There haven't been any penalty related documents posted to the virtual noticeboard in days.

Am I reading this right: Price, Svitko and Benavides are on piste together? And TP ahead by a margin of mere seconds?

Is a nav lemming trap being set?

Very sorry to hear Speedy is out and possibly injured. He had so much trouble this year and still pushed as hard as possible. It's the Dakar.

BB & support, doesnt really matter, but actually curious to see if the structure of the team is the same next year

Gonk wont worry about that also

Does he have contract with HRC for next year?
I've read an interview with JBB in a Spanish newspaper where he mentioned that until now he was unlucky with his bikes (Aprilia, Husq, Honda) indicating a change would be good.

It does NOT go over well when you talk about "short" people like that.......

Change to which brand? Orange wouldn't take him..he has sort of used up the other brands...well I suppose a Jin Ching ktm450rr look a like is possible

Its always the bike...
