Yup, he's out, cracked collar bone. You can see how fast Dakar has to be ridden, the best race on earth!!! Jonah Street also out.

This really does suck. Didn't he look like he was sitting too far forward? He was in an attack position. In slow-mo it almost looked like he was going to recover. Many of the other riders are seated or ride with their weight more over the rear tire.
I was really hoping this would work out better for him. There is always next year! DAAAKKKKKAAAARRRR!
On a side note, did you see the one-handed riding in stage 2 by the quads? They were going 80-100mph one handed over uneven terrain like they were on a street bike. Insanity!

Nope didn't see that one handed driving, where did you see the vid?
Watch the quad coverage from EuroSport TV. They have the best coverage. The links I was watching on YouTube were 45 mins a piece but due to copyrights they are all dead now.
