"You find a different part of yourself doing stuff like this, I love it. There's no getting away from the fact that the Dakar is everything for me, and it's had a special place inside me since 2013. I think people following the race deserve to see more of it, so this time the plan is to do a daily feed and put videos out every day on YouTube. It's going to be stressful and require a lot of input from me, but we'll give it our best shot and I'm super confident we can pull it off. Getting to the end last time was an even bigger dream than finishing in 2013, and it really hit home how hard it is to do Malle Moto. I've learned a lot about how to be more prepared for it, so hopefully I can do a better job this time. The priority is to get to the finish line!" Lyndon Poskitt

There's going to some great racing across Peru, Bolivia and into Argentina over the coming weeks. There will be high's and low's, not all of the rider will reach the chequered flag, some will be victim of technical failures and some may be

injured along the way but we pray for a safe race for everyone.

So, whilst your keeping track of your favorite team and riders also remember these guys and others like them and the effort they have to make just to be there.
