When I was celebrating my Dakar-homecoming with friends in Stockholm, I met a real action hero! Next to our table sat “The Dolph” – Dolph Lundgren (Ivan Drago in Rocky IV)!!
He asked what we were celebrating, and I told him I just survived the Dakar, jumping off my motorcycle in mid air. So really, now I was an action hero too 
This weekend Dolph was the superstar presentor of the Swedish Song Contest on TV, and he did a music act himself that totally blew everybody away – action style with karate kicks, fire and pretty ladies surrounding The Dolph dressed in a tux. So cool!
Two action heroes: Annie Seel and Dolph Lundgren

Rumours have been that the Dakar will reurn to Africa for the 2011 edition for a while. But now staying in South America has been the word. Or maybe the totally new route gouing through South Africa and Namibia.
By the sounds of the latest negotiations there is a 50/50 between South America and North Africa…
The Dakar organisation ASO will announce the route of 2011 later this month. I hope for South America again, where I have so many fans! Hope to see you next year!

Today I had the pre-op meeting with doctor about my thumb surgery. On Feb 3 I will have the operation done.
After operation awaits 6 weeks with cast and total immobility of thumb before I can start rehab.
But it could be worse, just got mail from David Casteu, he has had 4 (!) operations already after his leg injury in Dakar. Or Luca Manc who is slowly recovering from his big crash.
I wish them both speedy recovery!!
Big disappointment for me is I had to cancel my start in the Tuareg Rally, mid March. That really sucks!
