    5 minutes is not an impossible time for Loeb to make up on three stages. All is not lost.

    I kind of expected Peterhansel to get the time back... I wonder which year they will learn to field the cars first so these accidents will stop happening. It's been going on as long as I have followed it and the onboard warning system is clearly not working (when it beeps constantly you tend to ignore it after a while).

    “What an eventful day,” said Hirvonen who finished 30th. “We had punctures, lost our way several times and in addition, a car jack and the reverse gear broke. Then we got stuck in the Fech Fech and as we hadn’t our reverse gear this incident cost us more than an hour. Later we followed two trucks that passed one another. One went off the road and although I drove as careful as possible I hit its rear. And to make things even worse, he didn’t see us, backed up – and destroyed our radiator while doing so. This cost us even more time than an hour.”

    all the bad luck at once for him, he was doing pretty good job until yesterday

    Do You believe that they can slow down by orders a 12x Dakar champion and the biggest active legend of the race?

    They don´t have to. Peterhansel said before rally even started that he will help Seb1 to win...
