“For 350 km we one puncture and then we only had front-wheel drive because we broke the rear. I was really scared all the way. On the last part I said, ‘I don’t care, on the last fifty kilometres I will try to push a little bit’. But it was not easy with just the front-wheel drive. I’m really lucky to be here and we only lost seven minutes to Seb. For the speed, we needed to go slow, but there was a small part broken inside and a lot of noise. That’s what we had to manage all the way, but we are lucky to be here. Of course I was scared, because we have done a very good job from the beginning and now if we start to have problems… I think we need to sit down with the team a little bit to see why it happened. It’s a new rear differential, we only added it yesterday. I think there was something wrong with the fitting, but we’ll see now what the mechanic will say. The Dakar is never finished, you know? We’ll try to respect the Dakar. The Dakar is the Dakar”.

It's same shit like in the WRC.
If some privateer from the bottom fifty run over a motorbike he would be disqualiffied.
If some privateer from the bottom fifty disconnected the datalogger he would be disqualified.
If some privateer from the bottom fifty lost a spare wheel on stage he would get a time penalty.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

In today's stage, Nasser gains 1 minute on Loeb. Nothing changes really, Loeb was never going to catch him on speed alone with that big gap.

Terrible day for our colors today. Loprais retired from 4th place (1st non-Kamaz) with broken power steering in a jump over a dune in which Huzink broke his truck's chassis in two and one another CanAm rolled. It's not sure if he'll be able to continue tomorrow or not but for sure his chances on any good result are lost. Prokop lost gearbox oil through a broken sealing which was difficult to reach moreover on a palce without phone signal so without a chance to consult his team. They managed to repair it but only after five hours and as a result they need to navigate the desert in the night. He is also ill.
