When you're not busy following the BMWs dressed as Minis, you may want to follow these guys trying to complete their first Dakar:
[ame=http://youtu.be/dB4MIXcGSDw]Dakar Rally: Race2Recovery 'The Road to Dakar' teaser by Gaucho Productions - YouTube[/ame]
British and American injured service personnel - Race2Recovery. The sight of the guy winding his prosthetic leg 'over the top' to get past the roll cage is superb. They are getting coverage on Eurosport (Euro cable sports channel) who also do the Dakar coverage here, but I guess their YouTube postings may be all you can get.
They got an interesting article in my newspaper today describing the team's concerns that the vehicles might make it but their teams' prosthetics might not - that's a whole extra level of machinery maintenance that other teams don't have to do! It also explained how a guy with an above-the-knee amputation deals with the clutch pedal that he can't feel - he has a dashboard light to tell him when the clutch is depressed.-

NBC Sports Network, previously Versus, will be showing their lousy (better than nothing?) half hour recaps daily again this year.
The rally starts on the 5th with the first NBCSN recap at 2:30-3:00 am (Eastern) on the 6th.
I'll be looking for better options, feeds, etc, but I don't expect there'll be anything else available worth watching here in the US...just like last year. -
