Hubert Auriol passed at the young age of 68. One of the riding hero's of our generation. (vid for any younger folk who may not have known of his achievements)

Sad...RIP Hubert.
But what a refreshing change to see the big bikes in Africa...proper Dakar, not the current shameful clown circus in Saudi 'What time's the stoning?' Arabia.
