Photographer talking about “Dakar†wants to charge him $4k euros for a license to film in the bivouac area, $7k for competitors to film during stages. They say all race footage belongs to them. He starts talking about it around 2:17.

Prologue highlights. They'd been using an AI voice on the early videos, and everyone hated it. The man is back now.

Stage 1 Highlights, starting with the drawing for start positions. The truck Danilo is in made up several positions today. 13 to 6
https://youtu.be/ZnKUx817rAs?si=e9PO2IGoFSyStI59
Stage 2 highlights, 48hr chrono. It was a wild one. The truck that Petrux is in hit a tree/bush and busted out the windshield, so they put the moto driver behind the wheel.

It's on the YouTube page. I guess it won't play on the DMF page. It's definitely not private or subscription. They have the best highlight reels.
Here's Day 2 from the Dakar channel. They only post about 10min compared to 30 on NBC sports.

NBC extended highlights from Stage 4. Bit of drama with Loeb. Had an accident, but was able to limp it to the next checkpoint. Roll cage was damaged, but they said they could get it race ready. FIA said no go, so he's out.
https://youtu.be/WcGHhgdoJqI?si=c9_G7swGKAM1VDVb
Damn! 3k into Stage 5 Petrux hit/ran over some camel grass with the right rear wheel. The truck flipped over and did a substantial amount of damage. They have to drive-limp for 300k with no windshield.

Stage 5 Highlights. This NBC coverage is excellent.

Petrux is out. They can continue on, but in unclassified. Haven't seen what the teams decided to do.

Week 2 starts. Stage 6 Extended Highlights.
https://youtu.be/ssqEq4mquhU?si=m8YbtYlAaV7kJooA
Petrux is out. They started the next stage, but Claudio had a blood pressure drop, and they stopped to get him medical attention. Petrucci and Arnoletti drove the truck on the asphalt to the finish line. Claudio is fine, all tests were negative. It was his 17th Dakar.
Interesting how that rider said climbing Everest was easier than the Dakar!

[thumbsup] Race mileage this year is 4,970 miles (8,000km). This shit is grueling.
Stage 7 extended highlights. Toby and Sam dropped out because of Sam's concussion. 5 days to go.

Sam have a serious blood pressure drop? You don't want to get crook out in the desert.

Toby said the reason he and Sam dropped out was because of a concussion. Didn't mention anything about blood pressure.

Tim and Tom are out of the race. They had two really bad stages, and didn't make time the other day. Slept in the car that night. They are continuing in “Unclassifiedâ€. Their spirits are up as per usual, and they're having some fun with videos.

Stage 10 highlights. A lot of dunes today. A little bit of sandbagging going on, nobody wants to be first off tomorrow.

[clap] [clap] He had a great race. Led most of the way. [bow_down] Schareina from ESP was only 8'50†behind him. Brabec and Howes from USA finished 5th-6th. 29'50†and 42'44†behind Sanders.
Mass start today for the final stage. [clap]

Yarra Valley. He's near my neck of the woods. There are a lot of dirt riding and adventure bike riding locations out there besides the mountain roads. I actually get dirt bike and dirt bike carb jobs out here for that reason. Takes me 10 minutes to access nice paved mountain roads from the edge of the city where we are. The dirt tracks start another 10 minutes past that in national and state forests.
[thumbsup]
Stage 12 highlights. Final day. What a great race it's been over the two weeks. Nothing really compares to the Dakar, and it was a lot of fun following along with the live timing.
