Anyone watching? 

Quite a few bikes drowning water crossings.  Ricky Brabec is the only American riding a Honda.

I can hardly understand Toby when he speaks!

To soon to know much.   I'd like to see the girl factory KTM rider show some competitive results, Lea Sans or some such.  I' pulling for anybody but KTM to win, 16 is enough.

....me neither Chad. 

But those Isle of Man guys sound like they're speaking a foreign language.  I need subtitles for 'em.  Brave riders though.

Did NBCSN show the final two stages, or did my DVR fall asleep?  For some reason I don't have the last stage?

 Rumor has it that the competitors all realized the futility of locating Dakar in South America , gave up, and are gathered somewhere around a camp fire drinking beer and passing a bong  :shocked:
