I look forward to this every year, we get superb coverage and this year there were a record number of Brit entrants.

Ugh... That's horrible... Nothing else to say w/o getting political and causing this thread to be shut down :?

Kee-rap, was looking forward to Dakar, anyone want to join me in providing some pratice bombs to the suicide bombers.

Damn. That's too bad, but inevitably that was the right decision. Good on the ASO.

 

[TriggerT]

Man that just blows. It was the right call, but it still stinks.

Would like to comment more, but......

That bites! Tell em' to bring the Dakar to Baja. Our southern brothers know how to enjoy a good off road race.
