They should just call it the South American rally

I lost interest in this when they decided to move out of Europe/Africa and to South America over a few Muslim issues

So Carlton's phrase for this year is "this time by"... shocking commentator :mad:

.

Still, even he can't ruin some of the most amazing scenery on earth.

Caught it tonight on Eurosport, loved seeing that tiny old Fiat trying to tow that bloody great Hummer out of the ditch!

The bikes are super tight this year, after stage 4 Marc Coma leads Cyril Despres by 2 seconds.

I'm following again this year, and so far *touches wood* Eurosport haven't messed up the viewing schedule and my Sky+ has caught all of the shows. Usual suspects though!

Unfortunate news on Robbie Gordon. Although he's never really played with the big boys, he was always amusing to watch!
