    This isn’t a one off with Cyril getting his time back , I was talking with an ex Dakar team manager and team rider today and it’s happened before and leaves a bad taste within the race.

    I wonder if Coma had hit the bog , would he get his time back ????

    Personally I love the privateer stories that come out of this race and the first time racers that pull a rabbit out the hat and make the finish ;)

    My daughter went from a Peewee 50 and 2 years later a peewee 80, the same day she 1st rode the 80 she confidently stepped onto my wife’s TTR110 and managed to get the gear changes worked out in 1/2 a day then held it pinned until it high sided her !!! Very luckily she wasn’t hurt but learnt a lesson and went back to the 80 and took it much easier.

    I tried to slow her down repeatedly but until she binned it the speed kept creeping up , I guess the lesson was 1 step at a time !!! They get the hang of the bigger bike quickly but don’t seem to understand the consequences of speed :)

    Good luck with your sons riding ;)

    The Kiwi extreme enduro rider , Chris Birch , is going well he lost a lot of time playing bush mechanics but definitely has the stamina to make Lima if the bike holds out !!

    Wise words Lotsa , both STM and I ride alone a fair bit and both have our spots on.

    I leave mine on tracking just as a back up if I’m unconsious and can’t hit the button at least my wife can log on the Spot site and see where I am then send in help .

    Apparently they made the call to replace the piston in Rod Faggotters bike and something went wrong stopping him from continuing ?? That would be the worst was to go out I reckon :(

    Rod Faggotter is out :( , I thought he was going all the way with a jump from over 100 th place to 23 rd.

    Next year I hope, Rod !
