[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1140606, member: 176704"] I don't think that there has [I]ever[/I] been that much interest in the UK in events like the Dakar - whereas, don't forget, that the event was originally the [B]Paris-[/B]Dakar, so a high level of French interest is to be expected. Similarly, there's a lot of interest in other European countries (e.g. Netherlands, Spain, Germany) that historically provided large numbers of the leading entrants and organising personnel. PS: I think the only time it really got "headline coverage" in the UK was when Mark Thatcher (Maggie Thatcher's asshole son) got lost whilst competing many years ago - unfortunately he was then found and survived.:angry: [/QUOTE]
