Cyril Despres has switched to Yamaha: http://advmot0.com/1ci018e



KTM certainly looks ready with a completely new bike. You can tell they really miss Kurt Caselli.

The fifth stage of the 2014 ‪#‎Dakar‬ Rally didn't go so well for Team Honda HRC's Paulo Goncalves... Heartbreaking... ‪#‎transmoto‬

Man that's sucks.
I'm not saying I like or dislike Hondas but that just plain sucks.
Seems like they had the lead just yesterday.

Doesn't sound good for another Honda rider...

Marc Coma gets his 4th Dakar win.

But he is on a Yamaha this time. He's an awesome rider.

Cyril Despres is on a Yamaha. He took 4th this year, but has won 5 times. It has been Despres or Coma the last 9 years.

Nice to see soe new blood in the running - Yamaha, Honda, and even Sherco are doing better than in past years.

Borreda was fantastic this year. Very fast and had good stamina. A few route issues, and too many small crashes did him in. Look for him to be a leader as Coma and Despres hand the torch off to the next generation (a couple years out still!).
