GG did great, far exceeding my expectations. Here is to hoping that they put together their own sleds for the 2019 edition.
The same can be said of Toby Price, he trained for six weeks for the toughest offroad race in the world and wound up on the podium. 3-1-dnf-3 is not a bad record at Dakar.
Absolutely pumped for Walkner, no one was more deserving of the win.
Sherco, on the other hand, made a pretty disappointing showing. I realize it's a small effort but it would be so much more interesting to have them higher up in the standings. Maybe Beta showing up for 2019 will light their fire.
For anyone interested here is a documentary about Matthias' struggles coming into the 2016 edition.
