Is anyone following the Rally raid calendar/results this year?
The Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge is on this week, see website for details

Nothing on TV that I can find, so am just getting news updates really.
Marc Coma has won stages 1 and 3, but on Stage 2 he got his arse wiped by a 21 yr old Briton who resides in Dubai.
Sam Sunderland is the youngest rider to win a desert stage, beating Coma by 13mins over the 413km stage. Local knowledge must be a bit of an advantage with navigation, but still a great effort to beat the likes of Marc Coma, Helder Rodrigues, and David Fretigne amongst others.
Unfortunately his KTM 450 cooked itself on Day 3, and spewed out all of its vital fluids to give him a stage DNF, but he has restarted stage 4.
Anyone heard of Kiwis Stephen Collie (currently 20th) or Richard Brewer (28th)?
John Bouwknegt (Jaybo on ADVrider) is still out there in 59th posn but no details of what his problems may have been, as he's been given massive time penalties.
Check this out, Sam Sunderland showing off
