Not directed at you, but a shame that it's only now mainstream news. He's been vying for the lead for the last week, and came third last year on debut.

IMHO, it's on par with Tour de France for an enduro sport - also the scenery. They are pushing themselves hard at up to 15,000 feet. Pilots, think about that. One guy this year retired blue with hypoxia.

I cheered on Toby in a stage of the Dakar live last year in the highlands of the Andes (only 13,000'). Absolutely mind-blowing. And those trucks are c-r-a-z-y.

SBS on demand has the stages. Pick the ones in the middle of the event - the scenery is better (aviation link is the aerial photography from the Squirrel B3s).
