The 2024 Dakar Rally is on and today's prologue stage was more challenging than most we've seen. Some big names were caught out by navigation mistakes and crashes and others surprised with their speed to take top positions. Listen in and learn what happened during the first day of racing at the 2024 Dakar Rally.

In this episode we hear directly from Daniel Sanders, Skyler Howes, Mason Klein, Kyle McCoy, and Javi Vega in the bivouac. 

We also hear from our on-the-ground coorespondent giving us the exclusive audio and video content from the race.

Finally, we chat with Radek Burkat, the architect of the Dakar Rally Daily Fantasy Derby - a free fantasy prediction game following the Dakar Rally in real-time. Radek gives us the insight into the game and how to play and why you should play.
