As the 2022 Dakar Rally enters the "rest day" we get updates from injured riders Skyler Howes and Ross Branch, have a chat with navigation training guru Jimmy Lewis, learn about Danilo Petrucci from Cycle News' Rennie Scaysbrook and hear from Hero Motorsports rally racing director Wolfgang Fischer about the success of the Hero Rally program.

Also, we're answering instagram-submitted questions on air and look forward to the upcoming behemoth stage 7!

It's not really a rest day, after all. It's just a day without a race!
