SURELY now, after what he has been through, Eurosport should give the guy some decent coverage after all this?

Looking to me like the best and most fitting people to win the car and bike classes this year are on track to take the win.
Be a bit boring if the results mirrored last year and Coma has done a really good job?

Unless I'm mistaken, nobody has died because of the race this year? No competitors or spectators?

the paint has been all but stripped of his bike, what caused that?
1 rider injured on a liaison section and a driver of the car he hit, killed. So, 1. Sad.
Also, I forget the competitor, but they were on a team bus going to their start and a spectator jumped out and the bus had to brake hard, damaged ribs for those on the bus.
Fantastic. What a guy. Bloody good on him.
Shame on Eurosport UK for not interviewing him at length after what he went through.
For this, I give the overall score of the coverage to Eurosport this year for the Dakar 2011 5/10.
**Nowhere near** enough coverage of the GBR's, not by a mile. JMo fought like a trooper to get to the start and what? 3 mentions at most? Pfffffff!

Great job done by Simon in his most challenging of Dakars. Fair play to him. An inspiration.
