Today is the official presentation of the Dakar 2014, which will see riders go through Argentina,Bolivia and Chile. Here are some pics courtesy of Fernando Tornello ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ), who is a Motorsport correspondent for Fox Sports Latin America and the Shakedown Team who will be reporting on the race ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ).

There seems to be some TV spot at 2pm (Bolivian time). The link should update to your time zone.

Thanks, I just corrected it. I got that fact from a tweet. Should have double checked my sources...

Dusty, do you know how I can correct the post. Kinja seems to have swtiched the layout automatically and the text is a mess.

I'll see if I can sort it out when I get back to the office in an hour or so. First I need to see a man about a casket

Holy christ, that's a mess. Even worse if you look at the HTML. I think my head asploded.

I know a while back there was a "how to" post about pairing text with smaller images but I can't find it.

I couldn't find the guide either, but I took the easy way out and resized every pic to 640px width so that they would get centered as to not screw the text.
