First stage today.
Did anyone tune in to Eurosport and wonder where Carlton Kirby has gone? It’s just not the same without him. Nothing against the new guy but..
Anyway, it’s great to watch and the mileage they do daily is staggering, especially the guys who do it alone! Sod that for a laugh!
Today was just a 30km stage, felt sorry for whoever fell off over the first drop off.
Get it on series link.

I can imagine there are some red faces in the Peugeot camp after Leob lost his brakes completely after 3km losing 5 mins on a 30km stage.

Some big names out early. Shame.
That dune where so many people got stuck looked a complete nightmare, how do you pull a truck out of that?.
I couldn't quite work out what happened to Loeb and his co driver.
The app isn't as good as previous efforts, the news doesn't flow well.
I've enjoyed watching it though, stunning camera work and camaraderie (apart from Sainz allegedly) the distance they cover is immense, I'd struggle to stay awake on the liaison sections.
