Since "Turn-Left-TV", aka Bubba-vision, aka NASCARchannel has deemed to not cover the Dakar this year (way too complicated for their primary viewership...). They've handed it over to OLN, here in the US, and that coverage is only once a week, covering a US KTM team entry. So, for those of us actually interested in the race itself, we're left out in the cold. Unless, someone, OUTSIDE of the US where there is daily coverage, is able to 'capture' the daily stages. Anyone out there , onlist KLR, who is capable of capturing the daily stages in mpg format? I can provide an FTP location for uploading captured video files and then make them available for download by listers who, like me, consider this one of the world's top motorsports events. I've tried to find ANY online coverage-footage available, but there doesn't seem to be anyone offering online streaming or downloads ;-( Seems Australia, UK, and South Africa have daily coverage, prolly most of Europe and who knows where else (lots of nations listed on the O-fish-L Dakar site). Ping me offlist if anyone can capture the stages, and I'll provide an FTP site and logon for uploading files. Thanks js
