The Rally starts Monday but the first TV show on NBCSN is Tuesday at 5:30 ET. I checked my Direct TV local listing and it says Tuesday at 2:30pm.

Thanks for the headsup. Dakar is fascinating. I'm waiting for SX too.

I just got this from a friend.

"Toby Price’s Dakar 2017 has ended several kilometres from Tupiza. The winner in 2016 fell heavily and has had to be airlifted by the medical team to hospital with a fractured thigh bone in his left leg. Whatever happens from now on, the Dakar will see a new overall winner crowned in the bike category."

Sorry to hear that and wish him a speedy recovery.

Wow. Red Bull TV has a good show about Toby Price. It's something like "Paying the Price."

They also have daily 15-minute shows from the race. All available online, for free.

BigBearRider - 1-5-2017 at 02:54 PM

willardguy - 1-9-2017 at 06:19 PM

how about a shout out for Ricky Brabec and that 7th stage WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BigBearRider - 1-9-2017 at 08:05 PM

Coil pic. Now I'm going to watch Red Bull TV's daily update on the race.

Go Ricky! That's great. He was beating himself up pretty bad over the navigation problems. Seems he got it figured out.

TMW - 1-10-2017 at 11:47 AM

Good for Ricky. Too bad Honda got a 1 hour penalty for pitting in a restricted area. Why would they not know that when planning the pits.

willardguy - 1-10-2017 at 12:31 PM

yeah im thinking someone at HRC isn't with HRC anymore!

That will make for one hell of a story to tell! I thought they just may be faster than greased lightning, but that is crazy. I gotta see if I can find another showing.

Hope it is a one time thing. Couldn't help but think of this clip...

He actually bought the house right next door to my aunt & uncle in Brentwood, around 30 years ago. They got to chat with him a few times, and he seemed to be a nice, cool, humble guy in real life too. Sometimes the best people get taken too soon, but what a Legend!

willardguy - 1-13-2017 at 10:24 AM

WELL CHIT...Ricky's done.....a stage 10 crash resulting in a busted radiator ended ricky's dakar...
