| Dakar Rally - Cyril Desprese Hero or What?
Not sure I've spelt his name right, but this guy is currently lying second on the bikes in the Dakar. In addition he won a stage the day before yesterday as I've not updated myself with what happened yesterday. Anyway a few days ago he came off his KTM at near on 100 mph, knocked himself out, dislocated his collar bone, damaged the bike. Couple of other riders checked that he was ok but went on their way. Cyril comes round, picks himself up and the bike to continue on to finish the stage having only lost 2 minutes to the leader!!! He went to the medical centre to get checked out and has continued on in the rally!! He lost a lot of time over the next couple of stages but has been clawing that back to lie currently in secomd place overall and not that far off the lead. What a man or has the bang on his head affected his judgement? |
