Been watching a bit of the build up to it. It looks like the VW/Audi group have been throwing cash at it again ::)

And the best of luck to him! (but why trucks??)

As they would, given the competition from BMW!

Jan is replacing a friend who was set to drive one of the Ginaf trucks, so the reason is quite random i think :)
it is his friend who owns the Jumbo supermarket-chain (also sponsoring him at Le Mans for years)
furthermore the Dutch have been quite successful in the recent years in the truck-category at Dakar

Seems to be paying off at the moment following Peterhansels woes with the top three car slots ....but, anything can change on the Dakar with a week or more to go of more off road stage miles each day than a whole WRC round!

Fantastic photos there! End of the race soon with one more stage to run tomorrow, and VW look like the investment will finally pay off - be interesting to see if team orders keep Sainz out in front.

Great shots, brings the action to life.
Been watching the TV eurosport, been good, but not enough trucks, which is already been said.
Wish coverage was longer. - oh well one day.

Sadly deprived of coverage here which I normally have access to at home. :(
If anybody finds any pics of Patrick Tambay (Dakar related, I mean!) on line, could they please let me know? Ta'.

Will do Deb, hope your recovery is speedy and it's a more permanent fix this time.

Guess VW reign supreme after a 1-2-3, with Sainz at the head of the trail! Plenty of interest this year.
Debs -pretty poor show not having Eurosport in rehab - I'd make sure you annotate the feedback form accordingly if I were you - good to hear that progress continues with mobility, even if it must feel like one pace forward, two back at times. All for the better I hope, all the best
