Gnarly Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 No Dakar updates this year? Looks like Stellenbosch hero is going strong today! Eyes glued to live tracking, very close racing today. Mr Dakar was at a standstill for 20min, lost 17min. Come one Sam Sunderland, although from UK, grew up here in UAE.
Thorn199 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Wasnt too interested in the lead up to this years event, but now that GdV is on track for the provisional stage victory and overall lead today, I may just get excited again. http://trackingdakar.com/en/stage-2/cars/waypoints/by-overall/ Edited January 8, 2019 by Thorn199

Boerklong Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Australian Andy Caldecott crashed his bike and died on the scene. He went down at 150km/h on yesterday's stage. RIP Edited January 11, 2019 by Boerklong
Spokey Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Australian Andy Caldecott crashed his bike and died on the scene. He went down at 150km/h on yesterday's stage. RIPAhhhhh, this is crap to see, RIP man. I have not been following due to work, horrible to catch up and see this sad news.
The Crazy German Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Australian Andy Caldecott crashed his bike and died on the scene. He went down at 150km/h on yesterday's stage. RIPWeird didn't Andy Caldecott die in 2006?
mazambaan Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Weird didn't Andy Caldecott die in 2006? Yeah about that time along with Elmer Symons from SA (massive loss of a great guy) and Fabrizio Meoni; maybe John Deacon. They are still trying to slow the bikes down (I think they are limited to 155km/h - for a 450!) and improve medical facilities.
NC_lurker Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 A South African spectator got run over by one of the KAMAZ trucks! Figure the guy is super lucky to escape with only a broken leg. https://www.motorsport.com/dakar/news/kamaz-karginov-disqualified-spectator-incident/4322778/

BS move by organisers
NC_lurker Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I get that spectator safety is obviously of major concern, but they were standing in a non-authorised spot. If you watch the video it looks like a pretty silly spot to stand! On that note, around 4min into the video you can see what happens when you park your Hilux in a ditch frequented by large fast moving trucks...
