“Game over” is a continuing theme and we are not even half way through the 2017 Dakar. Up front for the bikes, Toby Price fell just a few kilometers from the finish and broke his left femur.

420 racers left Buenos Aires, Argentina on Sunday January 4, 2015. Two weeks and over 9,000km later, 216 completed the soggy final stage of the Dakar Rally 2015.
