If you're further behind than me in following the Dakar 2022 rally, spoiler alert...don't read any further.

Among the top 10 places, I was pleased to see Honda taking 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 7th places. KTM has been a powerhouse in recent years, and they got 3rd, 9th, and 10th. Yamaha had a fine representation bringing 4th and 8th. And the number 1 surprise for me was Great Britain's Sam Sunderland riding a GasGas for the number 1 spot!

STLTHMSTA:
That'll increase sales for GasGas. Not in my garage however, but good for them. I'm also glad to see Honda do well.  Speaking of racing, It's 42 days until the Daytona 200, AMA/MotoAmerica Superbike racing is returning to the 200. 56 days until Spring.

Steve:
It was very nice to see they expanded the coverage to an hour. Having said that, there are still too many clips of the same activity. I also wish they were able to lock in a time every day, I had to search everyday to find the time.
Yes, it was good to see all the americans entered this year!

Was Sunderland on an Electric GASGAS, or 4 stroke or 2 stroke?  I tried to looking on the GASGAS site, but it does not say which bike he was piloting.

I don't know the rules for this race.  Maybe they don't even allow electric yet.  And if they did, would they allow quick change batteries?  Or, like we did until 2 years ago in Formula E Racing at NYC, they would Practice, then Qualify two cars and about half through the 45 min race, come in and switch cars.  The current generation of FE cars will last the whole race.

dpippin:
You do know that GASGAS is owned by KTM.
KTM bought GasGas in 2019
They also own Husqvarna
