I'm surprised at how little respect is shown to the overall race leader for the motorcycles in the commentary, he was 2nd last year but the commentary would have you believe he had just done his license test and every other competitor has either been struck by lightning or doesn't want to win? Clearly Dakar doesn't want Aussies in the race they want rich Europeans spending their money. Well ktm is Austrian not Australian.
Given that the vids are in different languages, could they not find an Englishman or woman to do the commentary? Not only does she read from a script, which is plainly obvious, she speaks with no passion whatsoever and I'd even go so far as to say that her voice grates on me. As I've already read the results, I watch the vids with the volume off. Any chance of a replacement for next year?
Svitko is not a teammate of Meo and Price ! He is in a private team with no factory support.
