Thanks - some awesome riding in that vid! I spotted a link to stages of the '09 Dakar and it turns out that Racesulike has uploaded the lot - check it out at http://www.youtube.com/user/racesulike

Great shots and the Spanish commentary and music soon fade into the background...

Hasta la vista

More desert races to come.... the rally of Tunisia starts late April, most of the big name Dakar riders will be there. And then theres the Silk rally thru Eastern Europe and Mongolia in September.
Now, all I'm hoping is someone is good enough to upload coverage on Youtube, cos we sure as hell won't get it here on Sky.
In the meantime, this vid will make you wince a bit, kinda reminds me of riding with Woodman..LOL
