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.

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

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.

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!
