Race to Dakar

[Devon]

As anyone else seen this show? It is very interesting, it follows three riders, Charlie Boorman, Simon and Matt (Don't know their surnames) on their journey in the 2006 Dakar rally. The riders have helmet cams so you get to see the journey from their perspective and they give good commentry along the way.

You might know Charlie Boorman from the long way round with Ewan McGregor.

It's quite funny the support car (BMW X5) has had more problems then the bikes so far.

It on Thursday night at 8:30 here in Australia on the ABC, for the aussies here it well worth checking out.

I have seen the entire thing, and just finished watching Long Way Round this morning. Both are excellent, and very well put together.

They re-showed the extended version on Sky recently of a Long Way round - Brilliant, highly recommended.
