Title: Dakar Spoiler : Rider witdraws Post by: jimboecv on January 12, 2009, 09:25:40 AM Don't know if any of you pay attention to Dakar-type racing, but Jonah Street messed his wrist up and withdrew from compitition.
It really sucks; he was doing fantastic. If you don't know, the Dakar is like running the Baja 1000... for 15 days. http://www.dakar.com/2009/DAK/LIVE/us/900/r7_2-depeches.html (http://www.dakar.com/2009/DAK/LIVE/us/900/r7_2-depeches.html) Cut and paste below 07:15 - Bike 26 - It’s all over for Street Having won his first special stage on a Dakar during the 5th stage, American amateur Jonah Street (KTM) has decided, as a precautionary measure, to not take starter’s orders for the 9th stage this morning, due to a very painful injury to one of his wrists.

That bites though. He was doing really well considering the low level of support he had. He was riding brilliantly up to now.

I am now cheering on the dude in second that is going up aginst all the 650s + and I think he is on a 450 [thumbsup]
It is also sad that they lost a cyclist already and another guy is in a coma. |
