Injury forces TT star to retire from Dakar Rally

TT star James Hillier has retired from the world's most famous endurance race after breaking his arm.

He was taking part in the opening stage of the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia at the weekend.

Hillier crashed around 250 kilometres into the rally's first full stage after completing the prologue, but managed to reach the finish line despite his injury.

This year marks his third entry into the race, and he's the only rider in history to tackle both the TT and the Dakar Rally.
