Riding flat out AND reading this roadbook at the same time 🤯

SUPER tough. Now try doing it really old school without an auto-advancing rollchart!

?? This is a VERY simple navigation system. Especially considering competitors that read a lot of different languages. They’ve taken a huge portion of the judgement calls and interpretations out of the equation from traditional map and compass navigation. It’s Mapquest for off road driving.

@shannonbaz. They don’t have an auto advancing roll chart the toggle switch on the handlebars moves it forwards and backwards. O and it’s called a road book not a roll chart 😂

​@@richardhague3455 not sure what's so funny about that. Their "road book" in many other types of racing (such as motorcycle enduro/adventure/dual sport ) is called a "roll chart" and it is the exact same thing with a similar format and the same types of information, so we're honestly talking semantics here. I didn't notice the toggle switch, but even an electrified one seems like a huge luxury while the rest of us are over here scrolling our roll charts (or road books/route sheet/whateverTF you want to call them) by hand :-)

@shannonbaz what’s funny is you thinking that the Dakar rally on a bike is going to be made harder by turning a knob rather than pressing a toggle switch. I don’t know what motorbike enduro,adventure, dual sport racing you ride but maybe you could get Sam Sunderland to give it a try, as a 2 time Dakar winner, he might need more of a challenge racing you😂😂😂😂

"That was just 5km, normally we do 300 - 400" Add the fatigue, elements and 14 days, gives great perspective to how damn tough this stuff is, huge respect!

It's the toughest type of Motorsport there is, after all. You don't just win a cross-country rally, especially Dakar. *You finish it.* Indeed, winning is preferable, but in a race like this? You'd be really freaking lucky to reach the Finish Line in an undamaged vehicle.

I love how the guy introduced himself just only as a dakar rider instead of 2 time champion👍✌️🙏

I played that Dakar Desert Rally game that released last year I think, and it actually does a decent job of teaching you how to use a road book! At first it was frustrating but once you learn what everything means (and you turn off that annoying Co-driver and open up the index and learn the symbols) you start to blaze thru some stages and it so thrilling! The only reason I understood what was going on in the video was because of that game, lol. I bet alot of people were lost during this but I'm sure our rider tried to do his best. He was Riding, navigating, and trying to talk over that loud bike, lol.

Yeah I learned how to read the roadbook thanks to the older dakar game (Dakar 18 I think) and I got Dakar Desert Rally on launch lol, the best part is that the game uses the exact same road book of the Dakar 2020, 2021 and 2022, no simplified version for beginners or anything, just the exact same road book :D

Love these educational tips. I've been wondering about the road book / riding skill for awhile. As a geography teacher who teaches orienteering on foot, I can only imagine the stress to navigate at this speed ... what a skillset. Thanks for sharing, RedBullRally.

I can understand WRC pacenotes and it’s pretty straight forward because you’re following a track. I could not do Dakar😅 middle of nowhere, probably one singular rut showing where to go

I always thought those road books slightly rolled themselves automatically as you ride. Having to manually roll them is insane.

Automatic scrolling of the roadbook would require knowing the precise location of the rally vehicle at all times, like a satellite navigation system does, and that information is not made available to the drivers. The Dakar, being an orienteering race, does not permit GPS based navigation, but only uses the technology to register that vehicles reached their mandatory waypoints (Way Point Controlled, WPC).

Thank you for sharing information about Dakar racers how to read navigation on desert tracks. Reading navigation in the Dakar Rally motorbike race turns out to be very different from cars. Extraordinary! ✨

Thank you for sharing, so awesome to see the high skill set and andurance needed for this race, love Dakar.

Amazing ! Reading the road book and going fast ! So impressive ! Thank for such an informative video !

Wow! This is next level concentration and commitment. Actually pretty stoked to watch this years Dakar. Best of luck to all these guys and gals! 👌

This is the best video on the subject that I have seen yet, thank you!

I’m loving all these detailed videos of how the Dakar works from a riders standpoint

Oh Man! From my comfortable gamer seat it so easy to watch motorbikes going with high speed so easily in such road conditions - but looking this from rider perspective how difficult it is, following the navigation, in the meantime keeping the speed and momentum to finish the race in the top, also making sure you don't get fall off the bike, rolling the roadbook, checking Compass...OMG such a complex task. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Man! I thought it was mega, mega hard before. Now, it seems even more difficult. Wow! Thanks for this, Sam. ✌️

Amazing skill level for processing this much information riding at this speed in all unknown territory …hats off

Loved the explanation, so much concentration needed for roadblock and obstacles while trying not to crash day after day must be a huge mental toll.

Great Demo Sam. Super difficult. I used to navigate in a old Datsun 1600 rally car here in Aus in the novice Combine 6 series using mud maps (forestry maps) back in the late 80's early 90's. That was tough but you guys have is so much more difficult. And doing all that yourself on the fly at 160 kph. Huge kudos brother. Sorry to hear your out Day 3 with Mechanical issues. Maybe next year.

Excellent video, great explanation, I'll have even more respect for what these guys go through when watching the race.

........WHEN I was underweight for co-drivrer from rally.... this makes me happy to a good print out

One of the best roadbook videos I’ve seen

Absolutely love the explaination! We need more of these videos. super helpful :)

Thanks a lot

Incredible and mind boggling 😮😮😮

Great explanation, seems like a very cool adventure

Amazing information about route map ✌️✌️✌️✌️💕💕💕💕

I can only dreams about that. Good luck!

It would be hard to navigate through that without keeping your eyes on the directions holy smokes my hats off to these guys

*I did the PariDakar in 2004* we did not have any of this - we had maps, a compass, and two hand-held super basic Garmin GPS - which is probably why we got lost in the mine field in Westen Sahara

Great info and video, best of luck 👍

Thank you!

Man that's hard. Well done.

Thanks for putting together this video for us lesser mortals. Thats a lot of eye, brain and body co-ordination that too at triple digit speeds on sand and rocks. The Bike & ATV riders are super heroes👍

I find it stressful enough mountain bike racing with a gps track never mind going 5x as fast in the middle of nowhere with the dead sea scrolls to navigate by. Respect!

Motorcycle racers and rally raiders are a different breed of brave and crazy.. F1 drivers complain when its raining saying its dangerous and stuff (i mean no offence to their capabilities) but these guys ride on two wheels, have to go through maps and notes all while riding a motorcycle at breakneck speeds and in horrible conditions within a desert...mad respect for them...

Crazy. . Desert racing/sprint format like the Finke are hard enough when ya know where you are going. Lol. .

Good luck Sam. 3 time winner🤞
