Ned calls in today shortly after the finish of the rally, as teams make the mad dash to get gear packed for the return trip. People will be heading to the site of last week's bombing in a show of solidarity and humanity.

Ned calls in after the 7th stage. "Crossed a pass in the atlas today, very rocky. Tank is seeping but rideable. Really enjoyed the tracks, tomorrow is mostly paved. Spending tonight at a movie studio, many strange props all around."

Ned calls in after an eventful day on the rally, which included a sandstorm and splitting fuel tank out on the piste.  Way to bring it in, Ned!

Ned Suesse calls in mid way through the rally.

Jenny Morgan is now on her return journey to the UK, and calls from Sao Paulo sounding much better than the last time we heard from her. Let's hope she's as fresh when she lands back home. Fly safe, Jenny!

Craig Bounds rings in from the hospital in Chile. Get well soon, Craig!

Craig Bounds is out of the rally on the day before the rest day. Tamsin calls in with a report, and details on how you can contact Craig (SMS) with a word of cheer as he waits in a Chilean hospital.

Heal well, Craig. Thanks for letting us along on the ride.

We have another long chat with Jenny Morgan from her hospital bed in Chile, and she shares some incredible insight into what it's like to be an "everyday" (read: amateur) rider on the Dakar.  A must-listen for hardcore rally fans.

We talk with Jenny Morgan from her hospital bed in Chile post-surgery.  She crashed heavily on stage 4 yesterday and was evacuated via helicopter. She underwent surgery today to stabilize her leg injury, and we spoke to her shortly thereafter.  As always, she was full of incredible stories and very energetic despite the situation.

Jenny on the ground before the medical corps got to her.

Craig Bounds and Tamsin call in with a bivouac report after the monster dune finish of Stage 5.
