2011 Dakar

[CrazyFrog]

Day 1 and 2 now completed, some good results to see so far.
Reuben Faria has beaten Cyril Despres in both stages but copped a time penalty (for speeding!) LOL, which puts him behind Despres. Marc Coma running 3rd.
David Casteau on the Sherco is making a comeback after a steady Day 1, Chaleco seems to be a bit slower this year.
Heres the best bit, Jake Smith (22year old Aussie) is currently in 19th place ahead of a lot of seasoned riders. Ullavalsetter for example is 27th overall.
And Eulalia Sanz top female is running in 37th, less than 1 hr behind Despres!
Annie Seel is 61st.

Great stuff, and for those without SBS links, you can still watch stage highlights on

And as he's Despres'sss water carrier, he would have had to slow down on the next stage anyway
