Fantastic result for Sam Sunderland winning Dakar plus the other 3 Brits for finishing but my heart goes out to Kurt Burroughs suffering mechanical failure on stage 10.
His crew's report after stage 9 :
Day 10 update. After being separated from Kurt for 3 days due to weather and marathon stage he finally made it to the end of day 9. He was speaking a different language when he arrived and he kept pointing to his bum. We felt best to just put him to bed. We dressed him this morning as he just not capable of that anymore, filled his camelback with water and threw some granola bars in his pocket. He is off on day 10.
Kurt is not a big fella but he has the will of a lion.
