Times, from what I can find British Eurosport 19.15 - Dakar rally 22.00 - Dakar rally both programs 30 min (too short) and bet they are both the same. Anyone know if you can see more TV coverage on the web anywhere? |

Thanks for the heads up Neil. I will search for web coverage as i doubt North American TV will carry anything.
Happy New Year

It's on Versus here. Same 30-minute highlights format as Eurosport. I don't know if you guys get Versus in the Great White North or not. http://www.versus.com/shows/dakar-rally/ |

I watched the highlights shown on (German) Eurosport last night and found the background music really annoying. Do they have the same 'muzak' on British Eurosport?
And a 30 minute show is too short!

i feel the same way. these guys race all day and they only have enough clips for a 30 min show? they showed a touareg banged up but no footage of the wreck? i guess its hard to cover this thing but it seems weak. |

Same last year, wish they would show more. I mean there is enough helicopters doing the rounds. Also want more truck coverage not the 2min they show. Mind you there is a nice orange car out there |

Yes there are a lot of helicopters. But they're not only for TV. The TV helicopters tend to follow the front runners of the car and bike classes (the heavily sponsored stars) so the poor old privateers and trucks sometimes loose out on coverage.
Also, the trucks run after the cars / bikes, so the TV action then is focused on the bivouac.
30 minutes highlights and 30 minutes live per day (on Eurosport) isn't really enough - it was scheduled after 22:00 last night for some weird cross country skiing FFS.

We get two updates a day on Dutch TV, which is quit good, highlights of the whole stage, cars, bikes and trucks seperately and then there is of course a lot information on the Dutch participants!

Sorry Knetter, but I think the Dutch coverage is rubbish - despite them having their own crew down there. Too many advertisements, too much Dutch-orientated coverage. And still I have only seen Jan Lammers for a split second so far. Obvious to me this is all about sponsors deciding what to broadcast, just like at Le Mans with Team Merksteijn a few years ago - which Spyker?!  |
