It's in South America again. At least we have something to watch in the racing off season!

Any idea of TV coverage this year? Versus coverage last year was paltry at best and I can find no mention of it on what is now the NBC sports website. Does eurosport cover it?

We already have ours
Oh, and I already checked: flights from Newark to Buenos Aires is $1,500 per person, so there goes that spontanous idea

yep, cool shirt --
Versys was a bit on the 50,000 foot level of coverage, but it was gorgeously done, and captured the imagination of a bunch of non-riders I know . . . . .

For any Dakar fans who want to geek out on a bike build, the JCR Honda Facebook page has a gallery (109 photos) of the build up of Quinn Cody's Honda 450X. (Must be on Facebook to view)

+1 Thanks.
Is that an oil cooler under the seat? I couldn't find an up close pic of it. But, it look like it had a fan on it.

I'll try hotlinking the image from Facebook.
It's under the seat in front of the rear gas tank.

Looks like the airbox with a high-capacity filter. If you look closely, the "fan" isn't round.
