Sadly, it's not regarded as the hardest race in the World for nothing........... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/55673076
I have to say I don't follow the Dakar but it would be great to see it televised (maybe it is but I only have freeview), would defiantly watch it. RIP
It's not like the BBC to highlight a motorcycle sport death . It's the only time they mention bikes. Tossers. RIP.
One of the motorcycle legend of the Dakar passed away last week. Hubert Auriol won 2 times on BMW and had this crash on Cagiva in 1987. He crossed the step line riding with 2 broken ankles. He also won with a car later. They all know the danger. Pierre Cherpin was on his 4th Dakar. Always sad, but lethal accident on such a crazy race can't be avoided.
