While I'm stuck in the snow, here are a few photos of the "other" motorcycle riders in the Dakar during "hell day" 5, riding into those immense sand dunes.
Just a little note, I hope you realize that the Dakar rally is led by 2 (yes TWO) motorcycle riders! One of Cyril Despres who is leading the general motorcycle category, while for the general car category (and overall leader), Stephen Peterhansel, is also a motorcycle rider, and has won the Dakar several times in the past on a motorcycle. So, two motorcycle riders are leading the Dakar.... take that you cage drivers...
