I've known Bigyin 22 years. He's not whining like you.
What’s that got to do with anything, you’re the one that is whinging about spoilers and I’m telling you how pathetic you are, how pathetic you come across. You’re a fully grown man that’s laughable as hell, get a grip. I’ll just post results to fuck you off because you deserve it.

Knock it off, guys.

Yoz, you've been on the net long enough to know how it works. Don't want to see info/results don't open the thread, simples.

Is the correct answer. I'm 100% against posting results outside of a thread, whether it's in a title/header or even in a random other thread

But if you open a thread about the Dakar, it'll have Dakar stuff in it. Nothing at all wrong with posting results as they happen even.

Sorry. I had this cool idea of us all watching the racing in the evening without knowing the result.

Then discuss next day.

Then watch the next TV episode without knowing the results

Etc for 14 days

Sorry for thinking

Its a highlights programme, not a live event. If anything major happens then most of us will have it flagged up on some sort of social media or twitter or FB or something so will already know about it by the time Eurosport finally show it.

I already know the results today and how Hillier and others got on...... wont spoil my viewing tonight when i eventually get to see it

Chill a bit ;)

As nobody has mentioned anything about this for a while can i say what a truly superb ride Mr Hillier has done in the last 10 days or so as a Dakar rookie and still a relative novice to the rally raid scene.

He is still going with only 2 stages to go, riding with a collar bone that he dislocated after a crash a few days ago and his target was to finish and not be the last bike...... He is currently 79 out of 94 bikes still running from 171 bikes that started and thats with 6 hours of time penalties onto his time or else he would have been in the 60's. In the Original Malle Moto unassisted class he is 13th out of 15 still going from 24 starters in the toughest class you can try on 2 or 4 wheels :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just a thought as well that a couple of the stages have been the equivalent of riding the entire length of the UK in a day with the liaison stages between the bivouac added to the the timed competition parts then a liaison back to a bivouac. This years rally was almost the same as last years in distance by the time they reached the rest day last Sunday so this year is 2 Dakar’s in distance ;)
