In addition Loeb must also change its transmission Peugeot 2008 DK16. It Nasser meanwhile suffered two punctures #Dakar
Loeb reached the finish with almost an hour and 14 minutes to Sainz lost respect. According Peugeot has been stuck in the dunes #Dakar
Our trucker Valtr said he saw a lot of motorbikers with health problems today. Many collapsed, two Czechs are out due to health problems today too. It was really tough.Quote:

No penalty Stephane Peterhansel #Dakar
I don't know but I think that it's good decision to canceled the rest of the leg when people start collapsing in numbers which can prevent medical assistence from reaching them in time.Quote:

This is why I don't love the Dakar. Peterhansel and usually other French people never got penalised when they do things who are not allowed. A few years ago, Peterhansel hit a bike rider heavily in a river and he even drove with more speed after this. Other people should say sorry and ask if the bike rider is OK...Quote:

It seems that the punctures were close to the finish and as the truck has tyre pressure regulation system they were probabably able to drive with this for some time without major time loss.Quote:

Moreover, the day’s stage presents the longest dune section in the shared history of the Dakar and Fiambala, off-piste for most of the time. In short, an open door for desert specialists."
Funny day for Elena and Loeb

"It was a day just hassle. We got stuck three or four times as many. We followed the roadbook, the track was well brewed and it was difficult, if not impossible to pass. it is mounted suddenly plates, we also had to change a gimbal. I guess you could say we learned a hassle! in all these bushes, it was not the most pleasant stage. D 'on the one hand, it reduces the regrets of yesterday. on the other hand I say that I would have had a better order of appearance ...
It is always disappointing but I think it is relative. We came to learn, we found ourselves in the lead and defended our position. Now we will continue our learning even if tomorrow we have a real day dunes will be complicated: it will leave later than the favorites, with a warmer sand, softer. We know we can count on your support :-) "
Why the hell he has driven there? On to the tree? :D
He used to drive 4wd. It is difficult in the sand with 2wd. Hmm, may be he hasn't been in the sand also....Quote:

For X-Raid will appeal the decision not to penalize ASO Peterhansel
watch at his last video how works peugeots suspension.

De Rooy's time would have been good enough for 6th in the car classification.
I wonder how it would be in Notland...Quote:

Seems that Nasser continues. Some twitter reports about problems for Sainz. I don't know anything more.
About Sainz, after puncture, his lost, he does not find the way to trigger off the signal of WP1. 9min lost on Hirvonen and DeVillier
Looking for WP1 and flat tyre.Quote:

Carlos Sainz is having a streak of bad luck in the early part of today's special. The official Peugeot driver suffered a flat tyre while looking for the beacon of the first waypoint. Yet another setback for the provisional leader.
Trouble for Hirvonen too, but at WP1 ok
Where do You see that? I have nothing both on official live timing and trackingdakar.nl :(

Mérci!
you're welcome Mirek ;)
The first bikes CP2 times arrive on
http://www.trackingdakar.nl/checkpoints.php?type=B
The Usual Suspects in trouble very early in to the stage.. any news on the standings at wp1? Some have passed it but dont see any standings.
Carlos Sainz first at CP2
I have the impression that there is a confusion in the official comments between CP and WP??Quote:
