- This is the 16th episode of the Race to Dakar 2020 : Africa Eco rally Race Team Races to Places with Lyndon Poskitt Racing.
We are in stage 11, the second last stage of the race. 474km from Idini (Mauretania) to St.Louis (Senegal) with a SS of 187 km, which proves to be a hard stage in the tricky sands of Mauretania.
News reaches the bivouac that one of the team members has been involved in a crash on the liaison after the SS. With no more information, the whole team is very worried. They only know that Joey Evans has been evacuated by helicopter to the hospital after hitting…..a camel.
The only thing they can do is hope for the best, and maybe, just maybe everything works out ok and Joey is able to make it to Dakar…….
I’ve just put a comment lower down in reply to someone else, but wanted to add something here...
First, thanks to the whole Team. Everyone, media, mechs, and riders.
Second, thanks to Lyndon for the vision, and for managing it all so well. And for bearing the unbelievable stress caused by other peoples’ lack of sportsmanship. We’ve had so many comments in so many quarters by people who should know better, and people who know nothing, all aimed at bringing down the enterprise, but they’ve failed, because of the Team’s determination to get the job done together, done with fairness to all and being straight with everyone.
Third, thanks to the characters in the riding team. We’ve loved Matt’s comments, and irrepressible humour. And his speed! (“The GoPros can’t take the speed”!) We’ve marvelled at Joey’s courage and determination. Greg’s ability to shadow Joey and learn from him and also look after him, a team within the Team. And Mike’s ability to just ride fast and make no fuss. The quiet man but always there. What a Team of remarkable people you’ve drawn together, Lyndon.
Now I (like many perhaps) didn’t gird up my loins early enough to make a financial contribution to all this, but I want to do so now. Is there any way I can do that now it’s all over?
And, again, Thank You. All of you.

Matt. Well said about good, and cheap helmets. I am a Paramedic Fire fighter for 20+ years. You are 100% correct in every way. Glad you put that comment out.
Totally agree - As Bell Helmets advert used to go - "Got a $50 Head ? Wear a $50 dollar helmet !! "
Joey, you're UNBREAKABLE ! I've seen your interview on Outlaw Sports Images ! Have a safe return home !
Congrats to all the team ! You've given us a great show !
all the best to Joey from Canada...
Anyone else still waiting for the final episode 17 on you tube ( beach race) ??? 🤔
yes still waiting
Ladies and gentlemen I have been following these “audacious blokes” from the start. I cannot express the respect I have for their spirit. They are a team, as followers we are on the team too. Well done lads. 👍🏼 👉🏼 👏👏👏👏👏 👈🏼 👍🏼 😎 🎩 🌎
I really appreciate that you specifically tell people who donated "without reward" that you appreciate them. Anonymous Donor's deserve double thanks as well!
THANK YOU, LYNDON AND "TEAM"!
Well done guys love to you all.
Chit up Lyndon you are the man some one else cheating shouldn't taint you, your a stand up guy!
R2D 2020 has been my 1 and only place for coverage. I dont even know who won and I have 50 other Dakar feeds I will watch but not until I see the final R2D 2020 with Lyndon and the crew!
Saw your interview given on Outlaw Sports Images the other day, you do not deserve the hate you seem to be getting. Congrats. Joey haha glad you are OK
No hate for Joey, I too hit a deer and a coyote. But never hit a cow and a camel.
this rally is better than dakar 2020 it self ; thanks lyndon for sharing !! and best luck for all the team
Come on Joey, thinking of you, Greg hope you are not too sore. Fingers crossed you are both there tomorow.
To be honest, I just about shit when I saw that you boys crashed. My heart stopped. I got to the 18 minute mark and had to go to work. Just getting to the rest now after watching another channel interviewing Lyndon and Joey. Firstly, glad you all are okay. Love the videos, and your team spirit. All of you! Second, shocked at the ignorance of others in your observation of issue regarding the tires. Your honest and that is due to high class acts you all are. Anyone talking shit about you bringing it up shows lack of morals and sense. Sad. Don’t let that take a second of your earned experiences and exciting completion of this adventure. Not one of your fans will let it degrade our complete excitement and honour we feel being along for this ride. Respect
There's absolutely zero excuse for any team or racer to use unapproved tires. If they claim they've been using them since scrutinizing, then that statement along should warrant disqualification from the race. Any racer that intentionally violates the rules of the race, has no respect for their fellow racers or the race. If they didn't know the rules, then they should have. Any fellow racer that supports a cheat, doesn't deserve your time or respect. You did the right thing, Lyndon! Really glad to know Joey's ok.
I knew Matts name for years but very little about his personality. Matt is HILARIOUS.
Wow ..love watching these guys . Great program .. keep it up ... hope everyone ok
Zara was watching with me and asked "how's the camel" I replied "he's got the hump" get well soon Joey
Another great episode, thank you. Had to laugh at Matt's Cool Hand Luke reference as he legged off into the bush when he'd finally got out of his tent!
Joey and Greg having absolutely identical overall times at the end of this stage says a lot and is a great reflection of how they've ridden together and supported each other. Awesome. Hard even with prior knowledge of the accident and outcome to see the concern within the team. Thanks again for sharing the whole adventure. ✊
Congrats to Team Races to Places. Hope Joey will be able to ride in the last leg to Dakar. Matt took it well with the cable tie tent zipper.
First class job bringing this wonderful event to us. An amazing inside look at what rallying is all about. None of the cable channels could have done it near as good as the media team at Races to Places. First class job by all. Now, since you’ve done such an awesome job, we’ll be wanting more programming!! You mean we have to wait another year?!?!?!
Brilliant well done to you all,glad Joeys ok .
😆 what a team! Joey takes down the camel and Gregg rides over it!
What a fantastic series guys, awesome. 🤙
Dear team,
All your content about this Africa eco race is fantastic and shows great level of hardwork and love toward motorsports...! But I feel that there should be one summary/views type video covering entire race...!! Same like Lyndon has done as introduction to this campaign..!! Somewhere i felt incompleteness in this series and I'm sure u all hv thought about this...!!
Cheers...👍

I hope Joey is ok.
I really like thuis way of following the rally.
Done good guys
Another great episode,while riding a motorcycle accident is worst thing happens to a rider,i wish your team a good luck and get well soon joey.
Just watched the interview, Lyndon, and I thought you provided the most articulate, respectful and reasonable account of events that anyone could have. You've gone up even higher in my estimation and definitely did the right thing in calling out the situation and I'm certain you would have done so even had it not resulted in getting you on the podium. Good work and congratulations!
Helmets and riding gear really do save your ass
Like Matt pointed out
Don’t be cheap
ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time )👍
Very proud of the entire group and happy everyone is safe to head home for a well deserved rest. Great job everyone on Races 2 Places
You guys are legends - always loads of banter, love it! Just remind me not buy a bike if you guys...
Lyndon. I've been a subscriber to the Races to Places channel since you quit your job and set out for Greece, years ago. Now, I know that I'll be notified when a new episode is ready to be released but I fear that I'm developing some OCD tendencies as I find myself checking if the final installment of the Eco Race series is out, every day. Did the media van get stolen with all the footage? Are those boys on strike, maybe? Have you fallen victim to some cyber attack? Were there complications getting everybody home from Africa? Anxiously awaiting any clues.
Best moments of the series: Joey giving fuel to Nicola Dutto, and Matt's helmet cam veering off course through the bush at race speed.

Thanks for a great show. Looking forward to seeing you all on the podium. Fingers crossed Joey's there.
Said on the last episode this could be posiibly the best ever thing ive watched, guess what with out a doubt its brilliant thank you for this guys, question next please!!
congrats to you and your team, simply amazing ..
I can see why the Italians wanted to CHEAT now, that sand looked brutal to get through on a LEGAL tyre...well done team :)
Matt the GoPro killer 😉. 9.5 for the flip and 10 for the speed. I suspect you will be back for another go, now you have the Navigation mastered. Safe journey home.
This time I'm glad that we already know how it ended and that Joey is ok. :) I'm surprised how excellent that Shoei helmet is...
Hey Guys So So much Respect for all in the Team and organizers in The Rally 🙏🙌🏻 So Sad new about Joey hope you wil be Okey and would ride the last day 🙏So Keep up the Excellent Vlogs Lyndon and thanks for keeping us Up to date in Fashionable Stile 😎🏁👌🏻
Hope everything is good and hope joey is with youse on the podium
Great footage, love the helmet cam best - gives you a real sensation of riding along.
Making this content available for the masses will attract more riders to the Eco Race in the future I reckon and that's got to be a win.
Thanks for putting on a great show. Be honest about why you protested. And I agree you should have. Screw the haters. Hope to see you and the team at a rally someday. Anxiously awaiting the final instalments.
Wish you luck and fast recovery Joey!!! You are the Best!!!! 💪🏼
Thank god Lyndon got them all top of the range gear, well done all of you, that includes the service crew.
Wow what a adventure all of you have had. I am positive that there is no camel harder than Joey. Best wishes.
Well done EVERYONE. Great stuff.
Thanks for the great coverage Lyndon. I've been following this adventure from the beginning and wishing I was still young enough to attempt such a feat. I'm really glad I found your channel. It inspired me to start my own. Have a great day and safe travels. Looking forward to the final episodes.
Speedy recovery Joey & Gregg. You guys just raced from Monaco to Dakar! Stay ON IT! Awesome!
And this why we wear protective equipment. Good to hear you're okay Joey. 👍
Obviously, best to Joey, I hope he can make the last leg tmrw.
Congratulations to you all for helping each other this far, good job.
A camel...really Joey?? 11 stages through some of the toughest terrain in the world and you hit a freakin' camel on the liasion...Hope to see you in tomorrows video riding the beach and on the podium with the rest of this epic team! Best of luck!
Finally another episode from race 2 places 👍👍
Fantastic stuff, the Poskit team are my No1 team to follow, gosh I hope you all ride again next year....
Joey, you are such an inspiration to us merely mortals! I am in awe of your drive and the way you make an impossible dream come true. If you're ever in British Columbia Canada I would love to meet you and you (and your spouse/friends) have a place to to stay with us.
Also, we're so glad to hear that Greg is doing OK and that the whole team will make it to Dakar. Good on you guys (and of course the support crew). Godspeed Joey!
@@lyndonposkitt i would love to! How do I get in touch with him?
Thanks for the support Roger! I’ve committed to Matt that I’ll ride up in BC one day so hope to meet you then! 👊🏻🏁
Good luck Joey, I hope your injuries are not too bad and I hope you can get back on the bike soon! Good luck to the rest of the team as well, knock 'em dead!
Been waiting for day’s,hope everyone is ok🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Matt is life - love their chemistry
What a team nothing to touch you guys Joey looking forward to seeing on the podium tomorrow “Good Job Boys”...!!!
It will take more than a camel to stop Joey, the metal of that man just keeps getting tested.cant wait to see all 5 of you ,in Dakar tomorrow!
Eagerly awaiting the final 1 or 2 episodes, and an update on Joey? Cheers
ATGATT 👍
Hope Joey makes it to the finish 🤞
Just seen your interview with the Italian chap....I think the only problem is that Race Direction "has" to name the whistle blower.
they could just have done a "random" check ;-).
Anyway, this series has been excellent!
From what I heard in an interview it was not a case of being a "Whistle Blower", only he asked a question.
@@dmail00 yes we talking about the same interview....As I understood it the question was i've seen this guy with a Moto cross tyre...can you show me where in the rules there is an exception that says we can now use one of those?
I really hope joey is fine. Glad there wasent 2 bad accidents, but the bikes dont heal the same. Good luck and best wishes guys.
First and foremost, happy Joey and Greg are both OK. I want to see everyone safe at finish line.
Lyndon keep your chin up. I saw the interview with Outlaw Sports Images. Nothing to do with you . Everything to do with the FIM rules, Africa Eco Race judges, and the racer with unsanctioned tires. Rules and rules. Otherwise why bother calling it a race. The event has to be fair for everyone.
If you look at the Dakar race they did nearly the Same to the official Mini who was using camera image they sent him home
Loving the whole production. Well done guys.
so one guy cheats,gets caught,and its everyone elses fault??the guy isnt a politician by any chance?
sorry jd,what was the cheating you refer to, i didn't see that?
Absolute legend Joey. Saw your interview. Inspiration mate
And that is why you get a quality helmet.
For a split second it looked like Matt was wearing a sweater and nothing else
I thought the same when he was first getting out of his tent. I was expecting some pixelation or blurring but then I realized he had on shorts.
Andy Black there was a gasp and a giggle from my wife as we watched that bit! Les in UK
Come on Joey 👋😉☘☘☘
OMG!...gutted for Joey and Greg, what a thing to have to contend with after working their guts out on the stage...stay strong and braaap on!
Hoping for speedy recovery for Joey stay fast and safe in the final stage
Guy is tough, www.entrepreneur.com/article/329507
mips Hmm, I didn’t look at that article yesterday, but have just read it. Joey had my admiration before, but now.... well, he is a hero. And I can see why he is so caring towards other ‘downed’ riders. What a man. I hope I can get his book and read the full story. But by the look of this race, that story is not yet fully written! Les in UK
Wow! Well done, Lads!
Sorry to hear that Joey and Greg hopefully you can finish it👍👍
I feel for you Joey...After all my riding, it's the random animals jumping out in front of me, that has damaged my riding mojo. The amount of deer and dogs that were on the track during my solo TAT ride was annoying and eventually scary ...they are one of the few things you just have to roll the dice on, and unfortunately...they odd's catchup once the miles go up!...They piss me off...yet eating them makes me feel better tho
You ate some dogs?
Awesome videos👍really enjoyed watching every night ,your team was awesome👍
Really glad it sounds like he'll be alright. Seams like a really good guy. I'm sure he'll be gutted if they don't let him out of hospital.
Great show lads and I have enjoyed every episode! Joey hope you are fine!
The Joey news is sooo disappointing. Glad all of you managed to complete the timed part of the race.
where is the next videos!!!??cant leave it like that!!
I hope the whole team can make it to the podium.
Great coverage, strongs to Joey. Hopes he's made the last day.
Get On It Joey 🤙🏁🤩🤙
Joey and Greg you legends, but next time use a rifle if you want to hunt camels😀all the best for a speedy recovery
What a great group of guys on this team. I really enjoyed watching the riding and hearing you guys banter back and forth. Great camaraderie! And a great video production.
And Lyndon, screw the haters! If they are accusing you of knowing that he was using Motocross tires the whole time, and I believe you when you say you didn't, then he was cheating more than just once in the race.
Joey, glad to see you are up and about. What happened to the camel? Was it tasty? :)
Hopes and prayers to Joey !
I'm glad everyone is ok. I hope there is a few more episodes to finish out the race?
great episode ! it goes without saying but a race is a race, rules are rules. this not some 0.00003 fuel miscalculation - its straight up illigal tires. Its all good Lyndon! btw. Matt is a stand up comedian
Joey hit the cow before, now met camel. Bad luck with animals
well done everyone
Camel joe!
Hi @Lyndon, what about the end of the race? No more episodes?
Yey Yorkshire Tea 🤟😁
Did I miss it somehow, or did you never post the finish of the race episode ? I know how things ended with the tire protest issue, but still was hoping to see the celebrations of all the riders and crew at the end of this AMAZINGING ADVENTURE!
I hope he is still good. God help him..keep safe man
Get well soon Joey!
I was wondering what Joey did when I watched the closer from The AER channel. They had him prominent with that smile and his new battle scars.
"If you got a $10 head, get a $10 helmet" A helmet is better than no helmet, but get the most helmet you can. I've currently got two Shoei (as well as in the past having one), and two AGV (found they fit well and I got both for a deal I couldn't pass up)
Loving the content. Watching some previous episodes, have you considered keeping some tubing and a little hand squeezer thing on the bike somewhere so you could transfer fuel from one tank to the other. Or is it a freak occurrence that it happened to a couple of you?
the only thing to do going forward if you are around Joey is to off him a packet of Camel cigarettes!😂 I'm sure he'll appreciate the joke. Glad everyone's fine though.
Get well soon joey
Hope all is well guys
Another superb episode. I have a question: how many times does a rider crash during a stage usually?
