Here is link to Dakar discussion, https://forums.autosport.com/topic/229315-dakar-2026/#entry11090375. The guy that provides the most content does an incredible job summarizing each stage.

It’s the ultimate Hard Enduro.
My son races these in Junior. I have swept a couple of his races. They are no joke.

Like the original Tour de France. No teams, no support, rider carries all spares and tools and kit, fixes everything himself, for a month.

The footage was great, the work those guys do to make it through the race is brutal, the skills needed to ride at top speed and navigate in unforgiving terrain is world-class; but that AI narration is an abomination.
Nonetheless, thanks for posting that.
