Today two big news : Duclos with his Sherco had problem. He was 4th ...
Sainz broke his car - suspension.

And Peterhansel is now at 12 minutes of Roma !
As Terranova takes the 3rd, and Al-Attiyah is catching de Villiers, I think they will be able to win.

Classification tomorrow or tonight, waiting for whole crews :)

Karginov took another almost 20 minutes on De Rooy today. Not much left for De Rooy. Big fight ahead!

fresh video without narrator of Sainz and other cars from today's 9th stage

So, is there a chance that next year Overdrive will use Lexus IS-F engine too?

Yeah, Karginov is in kamikaze mode. According to De Rooy: "Karginov was driving way too fast. He's taking so many risks. I saw all the errors he made on the special. He missed the corners a lot of times so he's pushing too hard." Hopefully, he won't crash and we'll have a battle all the way to Valparaiso.

Shame, I hoped for yet another stage win. Luckly, Gottschalk is a good mechanic, so they still have a chance to improve on Sainz's unfavourable 27:30 score against Peterhansel.

:eek:

The rider Gerard Farres Guell not believe his eyes when he saw a fellow competitor in the Dakar rally , Enric Marti Flix be naked and delirious in the desert The Spanish rider was found by other motorcyclists in a state of dehydration in the fifth series of this year's rally route . For several hours the trail had been lost, until he could be rescued by medical helicopter to oversee the trails .

Speaking to reporters Enric Marti Flix said after the dramatic rescue of :

" I remember being alone and dizzy . Took off my clothes because it warms . Within minutes , arrived Gerard Farres. Recognized me and helped me . 's First Dakar Rampage . Many riders running for years , told me that have not seen anything like it . "

Someone called Wabco?

http://www.wabco-auto.com/nc/de/media/m ... hnologies/

They've supplied ABS, Disc Rotors, air suspension and gear box controls for them since 1992.

That decent looks mindblowing... especially in the Trucks. Surely that puts most other motorsports to shame; that must be terrifying.

Lot of things yesterday said here, so I post stage + overall classification.

Roma after some 60 km slower than Peterhansel by 7,5 minutes already...

Karginov already one minute ahead of De Rooy on first split on 32nd kilometer. By the way Karginov, Loprais and Nikolaev are faster on first way point than all but top 7 cars (De Villiers is first slower than top trucks).
