Ah, Y'all know what happens when thoust
Arse-sumes', Righto? As that NBC Sports Announcer sure Doesn't sound like he's
got an Aussie' accent! Nope that Ain't Leigh Diffey, Thee voice 'O IndyCar's,
but instead this year NBCSN has "volunteered" Part Time Roundy Round'
Driver Parker
Kligerman to do the Talkin' instead during its Daily
30mins TV vignettes.
Also, this year's Bikes' category sees 5 Yanks'
taking part, led by Hondres' Ricky
Brabec, who along with HRC (Honda Racing Company)
hopes to end KTM's Stranglehold upon the Dakar, having won the event 18

And although it's early Days indeedy', nonetheless
Brabec won Stage-3 and vaulted into the Overall lead, albeit Thars' 9 Stages
remaining...
Meanwhile, guessin' you've already heard the

Toasted one of his front Wheels!
As where else can Yuhs witness a former
Two-times Formula 1 World Champion lying down in the sand on his Backside underneath
a PickemUp' Truck Bashing his Knuckles with a wrench and repairing his own
racing vehicle? Only in Thee Dakar!
As Alonso, who claimed he never saw what he
Hit, since they'd been traveling in a virtual Dust-out' forever! Along with his
Co-driver; Err Navigator Marc Comas, former Five-times Dakar Bikes' winner lost
some Two and One-half hours making repairs to Thar toy-Yoter', including
cutting the Front Brake-lines before limping home to continue their Rally!
