Time to open up the betting pool.

Five bucks to Baldy is the bet.

I say it's Day 6 of the Dakar when they start quoting from sources here.



(I'll assume they're honest journos and will cite sources.)

Honest journos? Now there's a novel concept!
I stopped buying MCN years ago as the only part worth reading was the racing coverage at the back, the rest was speculative, sensationalist crap for the most part. That said it is the racing part we're concerned with here I suppose.

Team Husky dinner. Notice the absence of beer in front of Fish & Paulo. Sacrifice they said, but no beverages?...

"Marquito, if you sit behind the dune, no, with the tires? Be a good boy and take a fan belt or 2 for me.

Ok so from the above at this link (top right) starting from 1200GMT (LIVE stream, 0700 local) tomorrow the party kicks off..

It streams OK so far in Greece, we will see what happens tomorrow when the f5ers flock to leech the juice...

TN.com.ar seems a bit indifferent since the party is starting in another country this year... Here is their stream, no mention on whether they will cover the start off..
