I have been watching the prerunner rides in anticipation of the race. It is always a thrill every year.

Along with the Baja off-road races, the Dakar has been a staple of mine since the days when it went to Dakar before South America and now Said Arabia.

Maybe some day the Dakar can go back to Dakar. Paris to Dakar is only alive in my imagination.

I wish the daily TV reports were an hour long. Jamming all the vehicles into a half hour limits so much of the action.

I have not looked for TV coverage yet. What network is broadcasting the Dakar this time?

Thanks to all here on Nomad.

Saudi Arabia. What is so hard about spellcheck that it doesn't recognize Said Arabia. There it goes again. Saudi, Saudi, Saudi.

I believe coverage will be on Peac-ck.....if you're a rabid SX fan like me you'll need Peac-ck anyway this season! BRAAAAP!:D

Will any other network show recaps after the daily events, other than Peac ock? It isn't an expensive addition, but gee wiz, how many networks will we need to subscribe too above our cable bill and already added Netflix, Prime, and Disney+?

Ricky is out of the race!



❌ Fall and withdrawal for Brabec ❌
The HRC - Honda Racing Corporation rider crashed at km 274 of the special and was taken care of by the Dakar medical team. Suffering from neck pain, Ricky Brabec was transported to a hospital for additional examinations. In 2020, he became the first American winner of the Dakar, and also the one who ended a series of 18 consecutive KTM victories on motorcycles.

I will go along with your assessment, David, about how many networks do we need to subscribe to.
We already have Directv with two receivers (SD and LA). Plus Disney+, HBO Max. Apple TV, Paramount+, Prime (Amazon), Hulu.
That all ads up to $240.00 per month!
I think we will nix the Directv receivers and go with only DTV streaming, but that leaves us without San Diego and Los Angeles networks. Currently, we unplug the receivers in Ensenada and move them to San Felipe. The DTV streaming may save us $50.00 USD per month. I have not looked into it yet.

Have any Nomads made the switch? Your thoughts?

Thnks!

I am finding everything on Free to view YouTube, just fine... easy search feature and nice to see on the big screen instead of a desktop.
