Well, I won't be giving daily updates on the Dakar this year, but I did write up a detailed piece for those who want to follow. The Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorney's blog has the piece live now. There will be more restrictions on access this year when it comes to viewing out-of-region feeds, so the challenge in … Continue reading Dakar Rally 2018

Of Heroes & Zongshens
The Dakar Rally buries a lot of things. Hopes, dreams, wads of cash... entire valleys. It also buries stories.

The cars gave us what we expect, with Sebastian Loeb and Peugeot gaining ground, clawing a small overall … Continue reading Dakar 2017: Lyndon Legend Status
Dakar 2017 Stage One: Cars & Bikes
#Dakar2017 Stage 01 is always a little odd because of how short it is. The big names are still up front but seeing a Ford up front is likely not going to happen again, so enjoy that. Without Robby Gordon, we at least have Ricky Brabec if you want to cheer for the home-country. Dakar … Continue reading Dakar 2017 Stage One: Cars & Bikes
