Don is attempting to finish the special!!! At this point, am not sure how. Apparently there is medical behind him on the course and there will be medical at the finish of the special. Have spoken with Simon who tells me that the 98 kms at the end of the special is road and can be done. They will be waiting in the biouvac for him to come in – will assess the bike then …nat
GO DON!!!! DO IT!!!
I’ve seen Don ride a mountain bike in the dark when his light crapped out, he’ll be fine. A little bump from a truck isn’t enough to stop him.
Unbelievable! Be safe and dont lose faith…”Dakar Don” is on a mission!
Godspeed to both of you…Don and Natalie…..you are incredibly inspirational…both of you. Hang in there….be strong. There is a ton of support out here for both of you and many of us just holding our breaths…Thanks so much for your perseverance! Good Luck!!
Sending all positive thoughts Don’s way. Go Don!

GO DON GO!!! But stay safe too!
Wow Don does not quit easy. Praying for all the best.
Hoping the best for you Don and that you can shake the third day bad karma that has struck you again. You are a brave and stout sole to continue. Much luck and positive thinking coming your way from all of us here on VI.
