Confirmation that Dakar 2010 will again be held in Argentina.

IMO, this series needs to return to Africa. This year's race just wasn't that great. Not enough sand dunes.

Agree. The Dakar isn't the same anymore. But since there is nothing else going on, I'll still watch it.

Dakar Rally

Why doesn't OLN show the Paris-Dakar Rally anymore? Is there any channel showing it?

I just saw on Versus at 3:30-4:00 EST they have a 30min episode daily I'm assuming.

Damn it! Why do they do that during working hours. I don't have PVR.

I hate hummers. So is Dakar officially moved to South America now? (I'm a newbie but have heard of this and find it awesome).

Know if if will be on TV at all?

Yes, it's firmly set in South America now, which is a shame.

I saw it was on NBCSN but it kept saying "channel will be available momentarily"

I hate Time Warner. Hopefully I will get to watch some tonight

"Minis are for girls, because we beat them by 20 minutes. It was a great stage, with big dunes and the car's fast," he said.

Gordon added: "We schooled these boys. I'm pissed. I'm pissed at Stephane and I'm pissed at Nani for challenging my character about being a cheater and today I kicked their asses. I'm going to prove something every day for the rest of the rally. We're going to win every special from here home."

Gee, you think Gordon was fired up on Friday's stage?

Dakar; so this is how they cover costs!

Bring the truck back with a ton of cocaine.

Pretty clever. I wonder how much they've successfully smuggled before being busted.

His trucks are so unreliable, I think they malfunction even while parked.
