even though it happend about 3 weeks ago a major rider and two time winner of the dakar rally died on the 11th stage of the race. while he was doing promatotal vists in DC i met him. Fabrizio Meoni was a great man and my prayers our in his family's hearts

 

That is sad news. How did it happen? High speed get off, ... or killed by pirates/bandits that rob people every year on that race?

 

he was second and his team mate was first the were riding side-by-side going relitivaly slow and the rider next to said he didn't know what happend that, they were on a slightly smooth part of desert when he crashed he said when he ran up to see if he was ok he know he was deid cause there was blood everywhere

 

5K miles on a bike wide open in africa.. amazing more people don't die.

 

yeah only two died this year one was just an average rider the and then there is Fabrizio Meoni

 

it has one of the harshest DAKAR's in 10 years

 

Wow.. Meoni died.. wasn't he like a 7 time Dakar champion?

 

He was a 2 time champion

 

yeah he was in second when he died
