Well, they’re at the halfway point in the rally but the dnf rate has been ridiculously high.
DNF % at halfway point:-
Bikes 57.6%
Quads 64.6%
Cars 84%
Trucks 31.5%

As far as I am concerned whoever set the stages should be penalized by spending a week with my former mother-in-law.

1. Coma-Spain-KTM-23hrs.08mins

Remarkable performance to date by Spanish (Catalan) women’s world trials and enduro champ Laia Sanz riding a Honda and sitting in 20th position.
