I almost didn't watch that one....he looks coherent though so he'll more than likely be OK, as for the bike?  Not so much.

The Dakar has had rules in place specifically to encourage riders to help each other in the case of an accident.  Time is taken into account and re-factored into the riders overall time.  Essentially, every second they give to help a fallen rider is time given back.

Glad the rider is ok.  In other news...GOOOOOOOOOOOO NED GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
