And when you look at the facts, this unorthodox approach makes sense. Irish motorcycle racing originally started out on the roads and it has remained there to this day. Paulo Gonçalves demonstrated this perfectly when he had a monster crash this year, promptly jumping straight back onto his bike and riding off - tough or what? Being able to ride injured is also a key prerequisite, because let’s face it, you’re probably going to have an off.
A good mechanical knowledge is key in order to fix any problems on the fly and navigation is very difficult with riders having to rely on nothing but vague pace notes. Riders need to have a deep inner resolve to cope with the challenges thrown at them. Unfortunately after security threats the event had to be moved to South America in 2009 which is where it remains to this day. Cyril Neveu was the first motorcycle winner in ’78 cementing bikes at the heart of the event. It was a brilliant mix of terrain including the iconic African Dunes which could trap bikers for days on end. The classic route, first run in 1978, started in Paris and finished in Dakar, Senegal.

I very rarely here someone say "that's badass" when someone mitigates risk rather than indulges in it.The Dakar Rally encapsulates everything we love about bikes camaraderie, high speeds and adventure. I don't think we really need any safety nets, just a different attitudes when approaching risk in an already risky sport. But How much extra time would it cost to throw one #1 cam in the boot, have a couple cloves clipped through your PDL, and clean the piece before swinging over to Eagle Ledge? It still doesn't require the follower to jug the pitch and it prevents a grounder on Texas. Doing NIAD is already risky and dangerous, as the time dwindles it gets riskier. At the end of the cast, you talk about how can we collectively come up with ways to decrease the risk. What really struck me about all of the facts and questions was that Quinn was really just trying to do a 6hr Nose push and not really trying to break any records. Thought that the interviews were well conducted and had some thought provoking questions for everyone. Really enjoyed the article and the interviews Dan. My heart goes out to her, her friends & fam.

Hopefully this accident can help other parties learn how to mitigate certain sections of the route better and really think about the consequences of each risk we take. It just would've been nice to see her take a whip into space and be caught by one or two bomber pieces rather than cratering into texas. She seems like an incredible person with a really sweet personality. Obviously, it's not like Quinn ever deserved anything like this to happen.
