Dakar is too easy!!

Alrajhi was quoted as saying that he could win the dakar and that it has been too easy. A pretty cocky thing to say about the dakar rally before the halfway point. As fate would have it he had a fabulous run but appears to be out of the rally on stage 11 with mechanical problems. Reminds me of some of the epic meltdown from leaders in the recent past. Nasser getting DQ'd for missing a waypoint. El Matador rolling into the rivine and breaking his navigators collar bone.

I thought this video was relevant to Alrajhi, it made me laugh:

In Dakar, as in any form of "endurance racing", the race is not always to the swift!

I'd give him the benifit of the doubt that maybe he was trying to say something different and translated wrong.

Heard his comment twice now, didn't translate wrong.... announcer called it as being "confident" with that comment.
Got to say what little footage there's been of him handling something rough, he looked quite experienced at it..
