I was just about to post the exact opposite. I’ve stopped watching these because of the commentary. I just want to see the highlights without all the video editing gimmickry and smart ass comments. Clearly works for others, though.
@@cauf1415 In France, Dakar is ~40min long on TV (a day) ; we don't get to see much either. Around ten minutes for the motorcycles, the same thing for the cars, almost the same about the "little contestants" and we almost see nothing of Quads or trucks...
@@LtdJorge They record on CDs that they send via satellite to the place where pilots are sleeping. You have to know that a CD they are using is 40min recording, and they send up to 40 cds a day, they have much more than just what we can see anyway. I'd just like to see more trucks... ;)
I was surprised how little was said about Toby Price in the highlights videos this year so far. He's always been one of the best contenders in his class in my opinion. I'm rooting for him!!!
The rally definitely rewards consistency. That's the thing about him and Howes, they can contend in 3rd, 4th, 5th place as long as they don't screw up.
It honestly wouldn't be the same without his commentary! Heck, it's genuinly a highlight of my day seeing these videos and catching his jokes after comming home from work!
DO NOT STOP. Your comments are the soil(sand dunes) of this. Doing great job. And thank You for links to see more action...but remember- it is Your commentary that brings the most to all of this.
Love the commentary! I don't think I have ever laughed out loud while watching Dakar highlights before. Now I am tuning in every night to catch the next video. Keep up the fantastic work and cheers from the USA!
Duuuuude don't read the haters comments. Your wit and humour are appreciated more than you know. I waited all year for this. Nobody else does it like ypu do.
Dakar is just amazing, as a kid I remember sneaking out from my room at the dead of night to watch the highlights for the past days (they were aired at a weird time xD) And it still captivates me to the same degree... can't get enough, and the narrator's light hearted approach is welcome :)
Love the banter and appreciate the effort you clearly put into making these highlights entertaining. You're the Murray Walker of Dakar. Don't let the haters get you down!
Yes but Peterhansel won it 6 times in bike and 8 times in car, Nasser almost 5 times like Ari Vatanen... So it's also about experience and talent not only "things need to go right" and 'chance".
You are the voice of Dakar as far as I’m concerned, it wouldn’t be the same with out you! Keep up the humour it’s great (and I’m sure all the other Dads would agree😂😂😂)
Wow surprised there is no interview with Hank seeing that he is 2nd overall atm. This is an excellent opportunity to let the lesser know stars shine now the big boys are out of the race. His the next Dakar star coming out of South Africa for sure. SA is behind you buddy, keep on pushing!
Great fan of Sainz, from my home country ,but, Nasser just pilots the Toyota, like a glove, knows the terrain like the palm of his hand, and def has a great luck.
It was back in 1988 that I came to know about Paris Dakkar. Sadly there was no TV coverage in India and internet was not born. There were only two auto magazine who published coverage in their monthly issue. Then we found a way to watch a year old coverage through video cassette. I will buy one cassette every year for watching previous year coverage. Back then Ari Vatenan, Shekhar Mehta were the champions. Stephane Peterhansel rode a Yamha then. It was a month long raid that made Timbak to famous.
Please dont let them silence your humour...Mr Commentator, its such an added bonus to watching these updates... I will subscribe because of your gift only.
I have never paid so much attention to commentary on any sporting event. I am listening to every word, every single second so as not to miss a single joke. "highway to Ha'el was was my favorite moment. Please dont change anything
I want to commend Dakar on releasing more footage on RUclips - it's almost impossible to watch/catch/find Dakar on traditional TV due to licencing issues
Absolutely love your glorious jokes commentator, never change, you truly embody the spirit of the Dakar. Serious, but lighthearted, as between friends
Madlad.
nope

The jokes are great
@@Theravadinbuto I've always been a Dakar fan but the commentary is making it so much better this time round...i say kudos to the team 👏👏👏👏
Need more content!! There has to be so much filmed I could watch all day.
I agree! The highlights are great but would love to see more of the rally action

@@Darman426because they don't record everything. The course is too big and there are too many vehicles.

Yea agreed. He even mentions there are longer highlights on this channel at the end of this video. That doesn't seem to exist tho.

A bit of geographical bias?? 🤣
There will be lots of focus when he wins!
@@mikerenshaw7063 You betcha! 👍
Trucks deserve more than one minute you give them in highlights. Please we want more trucks!
best commentary by miles! One of the main reasons i watch the dakar every year is the terrific commentary.
We need a two hour Special of this guy on non seen Dakar 2023 Highlights after the races are finished👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
8:28 Dude loves hard work, he could watch it all day...

Your commentary is a big part of what got me into subscribing to the Dakar channel and following highlights.
Keep the good stuff coming!
Love the commentary! I don't think I have ever laughed out loud while watching Dakar highlights before. Now I am tuning in every night to catch the next video. Keep up the fantastic work and cheers from the USA!
Commentary is super, witty, full of fun, thank you...
You really can’t beat Nasser in his backyard. He knows how to handle desert for sure. 😂
Sounds delicious
Me too knows how to handle a dessert: with a fork or a spoon!!! Another story is being comfortable in the desert! 😂😂😂
What a great behind the scenes insight into the man, the myth, Nasser the backyard dessert gasser.
the man was made for Dakar
He’s a Dakar Legend
Duuuuude don't read the haters comments. Your wit and humour are appreciated more than you know. I waited all year for this. Nobody else does it like ypu do.
I absolutely love these light hearted (and very clever) commentary’s. Please please keep them coming!
Best thing about this is the commentary!👏

Always great fun to watch and listen! Thank you!
I like your light hearted approach....thank you.

Commentary is just perfect. Well done
I can't emphasize how cool & super super good the comentary this year on the Dakar..love it !
I really enjoy your enthusiastic, rhyming, pun-laden commentary. Keep it up!
First class commentary as always.
Much respect 👍🤗

At last the commentary is better, thank goodness! Great show, thank you.
Love it always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Love the approach to these high lights. Keep it coming.
loved todays commentary.
Loving the commentary 👍🏼
9:49 I'm one of those who are looking for LONGER, more serious coverage, where exactly can I find it?
How can we watch more content? I don't see more or longer content as mentioned...?
8:20 to 9:00, the music, the story to tell, best part ever ahahahahah I love Dakar 😍
Love the banter and appreciate the effort you clearly put into making these highlights entertaining. You're the Murray Walker of Dakar. Don't let the haters get you down!
Love the commentary.
It's crazy how many different things need to go right to even complete this race and even more to have a chance of winning.
the planets need to align for you to win the Dakar.
Yes but Peterhansel won it 6 times in bike and 8 times in car, Nasser almost 5 times like Ari Vatanen... So it's also about experience and talent not only "things need to go right" and 'chance".
@@YOUENNNN the team behind the scene has got a lot do with it as well,the preperation and support.
@@YOUENNNN the main thing is to start and to finish,you can't win without these critical elements.
@@gogogeedus of course the factory team as well yes
Great commentary! Keep it coming please. Thx!
Dakar highlights will never be complete without interesting commentaries like this!
Great commentary! Worth watching just for that
You are the voice of Dakar as far as I’m concerned, it wouldn’t be the same with out you! Keep up the humour it’s great (and I’m sure all the other Dads would agree😂😂😂)
The commentary is great keep it up!!!
There should really be annual Netflix series of Dakar!
Prince🤴 NASSER AL-ATTIYAH deserve a Biopic as soon as possible✌️
the commentary is brilliant as is the choice of music used. *chefs kiss*
Would love to identify some of this music, especially 7:40
More of these please! 👍👍😀❤
Perfectly entertaining commentary. But we need more bikes!
Wow surprised there is no interview with Hank seeing that he is 2nd overall atm. This is an excellent opportunity to let the lesser know stars shine now the big boys are out of the race. His the next Dakar star coming out of South Africa for sure. SA is behind you buddy, keep on pushing!
The South African drivers and teams get very little coverage. It's always been the case.
Henk was only second on the day. Not in top ten overall.
@@jacqeusmouton4005 🤔🤔🤔
@@jacqeusmouton4005 hes 2nd overall right now for general standing
@@mariusdupreez3486 they are not black, that's why..the whole world hates white south Africans...👉😉
great comentary keep up the nice work, nice to see Macik truck getting some good times
The commentary is top notch....and the sarcastic jokes are great..whoever disliked don't watch the videos...
Part Magnum PI and Ron Burgandy.. Hilarious!!! Go Skyler!!!
Fantastic commentary 😆
Nasser.."looks like he's driving to Sainsbury's" 😂😂😂
commentary is miles clear any other. keep doing you mate its bloody lovely
If I ever had the money I'd love to enter the Dakar has always been a dream of mine!
Guys, this tipe of highlights is absolutely spot on!
Great commentator in all videos! Well done!
love hearing you every year
This guy is a legend :D

For a difficult day the jokes helped and you review of the hardships and sprits of the desert were insightful. Great video and work.
What about the Brazilian Rookie Lucas Moraes in the cars !!!!!!!! Just amazing !!!!
6:19 what a legend
Love the footage and commentary but why so little on the classic racing?
Please dont let them silence your humour...Mr Commentator, its such an added bonus to watching these updates... I will subscribe because of your gift only.
love the humor you use
Gods ride and drive among us. You show us the best of humanity.
Bloody good job with the commentary! Ignore the haters, I like what you've been doing so far. Keep it up!
More content like this please 🙏
the Dakar is such an adventure, you never know what's going to happen
7:40 can anyone identify this music. It is spectacular and suits Dakar so well
Another brilliant summary, light hearted and not too serious with rhymes and jokes, you have to laugh. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Best Comentary!
If they limited the amount of support the factory teams can receive, i'm sure there would be fewer breakdowns and more thought into each stage.
Yes, and there will be more competition overall.
Such an awesome event, can't wait to race one day!
Fabulous commentary 👍
SAMI PLEASE.. listen to me.. please Sami!
It's just not a truckin good day unless I get my extended Dakar rally highlights...
"At your lowest points during trials, and suffering, there is only one set of footprints in the sand."
Truth.
I have never paid so much attention to commentary on any sporting event. I am listening to every word, every single second so as not to miss a single joke. "highway to Ha'el was was my favorite moment. Please dont change anything
Truck always makes me smiling..
Rebecca Busi getting the final frame of this highlights video was nice but we should see more of her in the upcoming videos please and thank you!
Young hearts run free .... you go boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰
@8:04, someone is racing the Twin-Head DAF??? Please do a feature on this!!
Love that Fiat Panda 4x4
Where can I find the even longer highlights they mentioned at the end?
We love your commentary!
I come for the action, but I stay for the jokes!
The wife loves them too! 😊
Go Nasser👏👏
Love these pun filled coverages
how could anyone not be into the commentary? that's the best part
Love the commentary. Don't become just another corporate same-as-everyone-else channel. Love the Dakar, and love it more with the commentary.
Quelle aventure dure dure. Joli regard à 10mn04
Keep the puns coming #poetic 💪
I want to commend Dakar on releasing more footage on RUclips - it's almost impossible to watch/catch/find Dakar on traditional TV due to licencing issues
highlights are great but we want more!!!
Love it. Keep it up. 👍
So Good Stage
Towards the end of the video you mention longer highlights available on the channel. I am not finding that anywhere.
