2013 Dakar 20 -- Luis Belaustegui, The Little Engine Who Could
For the third year in a row, fans from around the world have followed Luis Belaustegui as he's attempted the Dakar on a 2-stroke KTM 150.

Fresh off the podium, we catch up with Lyndon for a wrap-up interview for his 2013 Dakar effort. Many of you have asked to hear from Lyndon's dad, Robin, who served as his mechanic for the race, and I'm happy to say that Robin joined us for this call! Grab your favorite beverage and sit back for...

2013 Dakar 18 -- Lyndon at the finish!!!!
Preempting the throngs of "official" media, Lyndon first calls in to RallyRAIDio from the finish line of his first Dakar. A Dakar rookie, but hardly a novice, Lyndon's effort this year is a textbook lesson on how to bring it home. CONGRATS, Lyndon!!!

2013 Dakar 17 -- Lyndon Poskitt on the Penultimate day
An upbeat Lyndon calls in on the Penultimate day of the rally. After his miraculous (and rally-saving) mechanical repair yesterday, he started well down the field today and had to contend with a lot of dust, passing 40 bikes and quads through the course of the stage. One day to go, and Lyndon…

2013 Dakar 16 -- Lyndon saves his rally
It was clear from the timing sheets that something dramatic had happened to Lyndon in the first sector of today's stage, but no one in cyberspace could have imagined how close his rally came to being over. Lesser men would not have been able to repair the damage and bring it home (on pace, no…

2013 Dakar 15 -- Lyndon survives Fiambala
Lyndon calls in after the Fiambala stage, which turned out to be of a much different character than those run on previous editions. True to form, however, the stages that appear shortest on the route description prove to be long on challenge. Looking ahead, the rally crosses the high passes back...
-
2013 Dakar 14 -- Lyndon finally goes down
No way to dance around it, Stage 10 was a tough day on the job for Lyndon. Things came unglued in a high speed corner resulting in a high side that banged up both bike and rider alike. Tomorrow is the famed (and oft dreaded) Fiambala stage, so hopefully they'll both be fully recovered. Rest up,...
-
2013 Dakar 13 -- Best seat in the house, Lyndon Poskitt in the top 10
How does it feel to start amongst your heroes in the first 10 on a stage in the Dakar? Pretty magical. Lyndon started 9th from the line in today's stage, ahead of such stalwarts as Cyril Despres, Helder Rogrigues, and Chaleco Lopez. Knowing full well that they would catch him on track, he rode…

2013 Dakar 09 -- Marathon stages part 1
Lyndon calls in after the first of two marathon stages (bikes spend the night in their own bivouac, no assistance crews for the duration of two consecutive days). It was a rough day for him, both physically/health, and mechanically on the bike, which luckily can be considered his first setbacks…

2013 Dakar 08 -- The Longest Stage (sort of)
Lyndon rings in after the longest stage (in selective miles) of this year's rally.
-
2013 Dakar 07 -- Hills, hills, and more hills. Did we mention the hills?
Stage 5 was billed as a "short" stage, but as Lyndon reports, woe is the competitor who confused distance, with challenge. Put into difficulty on several occasions, his enjoyment of the stage is nevertheless very clear in his voice (as Ned predicted it would be today). The competitors have a 0430...
-
2013 Dakar 06 -- Interview with Lyndon, guest starring Ned Suesse!
It's hard to believe it's only been four stages, but they've been some of the toughest opening stages on any edition of the Dakar to date. After a marathon 700+km day, we catch up with Lyndon Poskitt for an interactive interview, featuring special guest, and Lyndon's dear friend, Ned Suesse (of...
-

-
2013 Dakar 04 -- Lyndon Poskitt
Lyndon calls in with the details from Stage 2, a day which saw the first riders put into difficulty on a long, sandy stage. In a war of attrition, Lyndon rode a sensible ride today. Keep it steady, Lyndon, and thanks for the great call!
-

2013 Dakar 01 -- Lyndon Poskitt on the eve of departure
We kick off our 2013 Dakar Rally call-in coverage with an interview with Lyndon Poskitt (aka Pyndon on ADVrider) on the eve of his departure for South America. His prep hasn't gone exactly to plan, with a broken foot sidelining him for a critical portion of the season, but he's cleared to ride…

-
2012 Sardinia Rally 05 -- Lyndon's third day
Lyndon rings in on the way to bed down for the night after a shortened day three. The second special of the day (SS6) was cancelled due to wildfires in the area. Big day on tap tomorrow, with just one special but over 180km of racing from the 300+ km day. It took him over 3hrs to do the roadbook...
-
2012 Sardinia Rally 04 -- Lyndon's second day
Lyndon calls in after the tough second day of the Sardinia rally, having learned a valuable nav lesson (read: learned the hard way) on how he was marking his roadbook. Apart from that, no significant issues and certainly making good on his intent to gain experience in the subtleties of rallye.…

2012 Sardinia Rally 03 -- Lyndon Poskitt's first stage

-
2012 Dakar 20 -- Toby Younger, Ironman of the year?
(Photo Credit: Eurosport) Neil (Bluebull2007) catches up with Toby Younger at the bivouac in Nasca, Peru, after stage 12. While for many this year "Marathon Stage" is just a fancy way of saying "Motorcycle-only campout", for Toby it's been a true "Marathon Rally", in every sense of the phrase.…

2012 Dakar 19 -- Ned Suesse Stage 12
Ned calls in from the windy (gave the sat phone a few fits, apologies) bivouac in Peru following Stage 12, the conclusion of the "marathon" stage -- which Ned found to be a bit of a farce since the factory teams basically got a full service along the liaison route after the special. A few...

Happy F5 Day!
The Birthday Girl wishes everyone out there a happy F5 day!

2012 Dakar 18 -- Stage 11 - Ned has his "Dakar Moment"
Having surmounted some unusual challenges on Stage 11, Ned Suesse has his "Dakar Moment" while on the liaison to the moto-only marathon bivouac. Ever-giving of himself, he pulls over to call us "in the moment". The seemingly unflappable Neduro brought to tears, this has to be one of the most...
-

Neil calls in with a man-on-the-scene report from the entrance to the Moto Bivouac after having followed Ned Suesse in on the liaison. Sounds like there are some stories to be told!

-
2012 Dakar 13 -- Ned Suesse stage 8
Ned calls us after what would turn out to be a very controversial stage for the frontrunners. He had his own challenges, including a stage that was very fast and admittedly not his most comfortable zone. A followup call reveals that his steering damper had become disengaged, a sketchy prospect…
