I came across this today on FB. Riaan van Niekerk encouraging a fellow South African to follow his dream of riding Dakar. I removed the names, because that's the prerogative of the riders themselves to reveal. But I salute Riaan's view on the "real" riders of the Dakar  :notworthy:

"Never say never..... it's people like you and ... that makes the Dakar what it is, a true adventure. The media just focus on the front guy's, but to me that's not what's it about. The highs and lows you go thru and a lifetime of memories and the people you meet along the way. Think you, ... and .... should team up and go to Dakar......"
