While we are at it....... I have a e mail link to the press department for Dakar.

Shoot them off an e mail and ask them why the quad category is not televised like the cars, trucks and bikes. Tell them we want to see daily updates for the quad category and interviews with the riders, just like the cars, bikes and trucks.


asotv@aso.fr


Forward the link to your friends and ask them to do the same.
Remember that the noisy wheel gets the grease!

Send em an e mail asking them to televise the quad category just like the cars, bikes and trucks. I think it is about time they did this for our beloved sport. Smile

I've just heard from these guys. The engine is from BMW F800GS and so far he doesn't think much of it.

no idea how those trucks get though some of those sandhills looks like they spend most of the time on their sides or digging their way out.

This has been a awesome event.
Great coverage, scenery and stories.
Excellent to see the quads gaining a wider acceptance.
It must be hard work for them and the bikes, riding and navigating.
It must very hard physically especially for the two wheelers in the sand.
Speaking as someone born with half a brain, and the remaining half ruined with hard living, those guys in the trucks are nuts!
Great entertainment though.

Final television screenings tonight showing the ceremonial finish and highlights from the event.

Well done to the Patronelli Brothers on their 1, 2 victory in the quad class and well done to all those that had a crack whether they finished or not.
