it's a hell of a lot safer than Africa. My sister lived in both places. Travel by land in Africa is very hazardous. That's the short answer, I would end up in the podium with the long one.

Alonzo finished 6th in the stage, up to 16th overall after the wreck. USA has never won the Dakar. Brabec in the motorcycle class won the 6th stage by over 4 and a half minutes and has an overall lead in the motorcycle class of over 20 minutes

Paulo Goncalves has died after a crash during the 7th stage.
I haven't watched anything from this year's Dakar so far but I remember Goncalves as one of the best motorcycle riders during the South America years.
