Jez I forgot all about this until I looked at the Cycle-News web site.
KTM's search for the USA Paris-Dakar team is going to be on OLN TONITE at 9:30! Fire up the TiVo!

Below is from the OLN's web site;

9:30PM - 10:30PM DAKAR RALLY:TEAM USA RIDER SEARCH
Dakar Rally: Team USA Rider Search
Six pro motorcycle riders meet up in the California-Nevada desert to learn the skills necessary to succeed in the world of rally racing at the Dakar Rally: Team USA Rider Search.

I'm on it as soon as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Raindeer is over and the kid's in bed! Yee-Haw!
 
damn, i guess i missed it.; post again if it comes back on
 
Good show.........next Wed. at 9:30pm is the second show...........no doubt OLN will repeat the first show though so check their website if missed tonights.
 
Yeah, my buddy calls just 2 mins after it starts: "Are you watching this..." - got it recorded - Thanks motojohnny!

It was interesting to see how some otherwise knarly riders were humbled when faced with unfamiliar terrain/riding: Bertram; X-Games pro getting lost, getting last and getting over his head.
And some of the others were really challenged by the dunes.

It's gonna be fun to see how it plays out - Kinda like "Survivor" for motorcyclists!
 
i watched it, pretty interesting what those Dakar racers have to know and do (never heard of it before last night)
 
Seemed like they're expecting these guys to rely heavily on GPS, which will save a bunch of time of course...when they work. Wonder if they're gonna back it up with some solid basic Navigation training for when the GPS craps out.
