Speed is not covering Dakar this year, OLN has it, but not until Jan 22.

I did! And?

Doesn't look much different than when I looked before. Did you read past the first page of posts?

Need more proof?

Go to OLN's website:

http://ww2.olntv.com/default.asp

Do a search of their tv listings.

All I see is the USA Rider Search.
Are we not getting the main European feed? Please say yes.

>All I see is the USA Rider Search.

It starts after that show, runs from 1/22 thru 1/29. Five hours on the 29th.

Use the search on OLN's website, search for: Dakar. Change the day to: anytime. You should get all the Dakar related shows listed.

Thank you, Rob.

The Event's site is the best proof.

My guess is that Steve must have talked to them and convinced them that we are an insurance liability.
Broadcasting would increase their insurance premium.
But hey guys,... OLN is the same network.
Doesn't make a difference as long as they show it somewhere on TV.

And just to throw some salt in the wound, Toby Moody will not be hosting.

My hope is that SPEED just quits broadcasting WRC, Motorsport Mundial, and other such programs. Let those programs be shown on a channel with some vision; like OLN or The Outdoor Channel. OLN did a fine job with the Tour de France. The Outdoor Channel is the only place to see an Off-Road event.

SPEED appears happy to cater to the roundy-round crowd; let 'em. The rest of us will be tuned to a different channel.


Happy Motoring

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!

I turned on Speed fully expecting the Dakar and then came here to find out the 'orrible news. How can there be no Dakar coverage until after it's over?? It's the only thing that makes January tolerable!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!

Yes, and SPEED dropped the WRC marathon on New Year's Day. They repeated events at 3am or something, spread out over the holidays. I tell you, Kenny G recordings and this are signs of the coming apocalypse!!!

Just be happy you get OLN. Up here in Canada our OLN is different and doesn't show all the good shows you get (including Dakar). Instead we get logger sports and igloo speed building races
