    I don't mind a look at this also, but the coverage can be a bit hit or miss. Though it is to be expected considering the miles they cover.

    I also love the 24hr endurance series, and will at some point get to Le Mans to watch the racing.

    I had good iPhone app last year for following the race with great daily reports, always a great race to follow.

    Question is who out of Marc Coma or Cyril Despres will win this time?

    As Mark Coma missed last year due to injury he will be up for it but Cyril Despres is on a Yam this year instead of the KTM so should be a good race credit to Cyril he said he wanted to change bikes for the challenge as he could of just stayed with KTM as it was a winning bike for him.

    The youngest rider this year is 18 years old which is the youngest ever in the Dakar.

    It's usually a win win for KTM! So will be a very interesting race this time
