Tom, here is Ricky's interview last year, in one of the Trail of Missions Recon episodes, recorded at the La Huerta Hotel in San Ignacio. Begins at Minute 1:50 to 3:48 : https://youtu.be/WmZxWMsjsBU

Short list after stage2
Dakar Rally 2020 Bike standings (after Stage 2)
Sam Sunderland (GBR) 7h 21m 22s
Pablo Quintanilla (CHI) +1m 18s
Kevin Benavides (ARG) +1m 32s
Matthias Walkner (AUT) +2m 00s
Ricky Brabec (USA) +4m 11s

Win one day and then have a bad day next.
Price fell back after winning stage 1
Same with Brabec start 1st for stage 1 and fall back by the end. Then recover for stage 2 because he started in 24th
Looking good for Brabec IMO
