    From Cyril Despres FB page

    A big thank you to Vane Vanesa (a “Fan” from Argentina), who put together this clip summarising my Dakar career to date. In 5 days’ time I will at last be able to announce a new and very exciting new chapter. There’s still plenty of pages to write. Watch this space!

    I got that as a tweet too. Excited to see what Cyril has up his sleeve. I'm still betting four wheels.

    According to my calendar, it should be about the same time as that other big announcement we've been hearing about... :1drink

    OK, my pre-dick-tion for Cyril is he will announce that he will have his own team riding a KTM...

    Or something equally as boring as that.

    My money is also on that he'll choose a safe, comfortable option with a factory support. :snore

    Nothing like malle moto, back-to-the-roots for the Patron.

    A win-win for KTM then... although not sure how much of a PR coup that would be if a privateer beat the factory riders?

    I don't think CD will be anywhere near a KTM package but I am also thinking the announcement won't be Honda. I'm thinking he has been waiting on the Honda announcement and wants to put his plans out there just before so that whatever those are, it doesn't look like a reaction to not being on the HRC squad.

    CD and his management is very tight with their info. Honda could still be an option and the reality is that I wold love to see CD stay on two wheels at least for another 2 years or so. He's got more to give. I've heard nothing regarding him from any source. They have been very secretive.

    All that other gossip is boring, per above I think Cyril and Laia will announce their retirement from racing and their engagement and settling down in Andorra to have children and raise sheep. :augie

    I'm sure he is, but equally he is no fool - it took the full strategic might of factory KTM with no Coma this year, what with the shenanigans of the marathon day and Faria lying down for him on several occasions - was he really up to it and is he for 2 more future wins against a growing wolf pack - only he knows for now and maybe we will in what, 4 days? :1drink
