WHAT A RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its just this minute finished, and I now can have a life back until next year's event.
Congrats to
Ricky Brabec for being the first American to win the Dakar. And what a brilliant gesture to come in second on the final stage which saw his fellow teammate take the final stage win.
So very, very sad that Paulo Goncalves passed away.
Aussie Toby Price gets on the podium at 3rd overall. What an awesome effort considering what he went through with Paulo Goncalves. He rode the remaining stages as #racingforspeedy.
Then there was the time that Andrew Short lent Toby his rear tyre so Toby could stay in the race. Andrew went on to finish the stage on just the rim.
ALL competitors, whether they made it through the 12 stages or not, are true legends!!

I'm sure the other contestants had their challenges as well but Toby was only 24 minutes and 6 seconds back from 1st. As you mentioned, considering the challenges he had (and being first on scene when Paulo crashed) that's remarkable.Originally posted by FR4N View PostWHAT A RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Its just this minute finished, and I now can have a life back until next year's event.....ALL competitors, whether they made it through the 12 stages or not, are true legends!!
