Dakar 2016

Another Dutch victory at the trucks.
Pascal de Baar with the Renault wins in front of Gerard de Rooij! Crazy big differences. Looks like a terrible day for Kamaz if I'm correct.

Nikolaev rolled ...

LOL, I understand a very little bit french but enough to understand this is a joke. A sort of satiric website.
It says that a driver (Hirvonen in this case) has been disqualified from the Dakar because he avoided a spectator and did not hit him.

Yes, never trust gorafi, it's a parodic website
Once a politicwoman quoted it very seriously on a TV interview ...

If you want the translation :
"ASO, the organizer of the race, revealed that finnish driver Mikko Hirvonen and his codriver have been excluded of the race due to having deliberately avoid a spectator.

Error in judgement ? Wrong trajectory ? Hard to explain what pushed the finnish driver to avoid Juan Del Puerto, an argentinan spectator of 22, who didn't see the car arrived in his back at 180 km/h.
"All the conditions were gathered, the driver didn't do his job, I'm revolted." says the young spectator.


The extremely shocked driver still has difficulties to talk. "I screw up, I know I should have strike him with full force. That kind of mistake is fatal." As for the organizer, it indicates that this mistake is unworthy for a professionnel, and it is considering to suspend the driver for the next 5 years of the race."




More seriously, Gonçalves seems in trouble. Fight for third place in bike will interesting to follow between Quintanilla, Méo and Benavides.

Very tight gaps between the top 3 competitors today, should be an easy stage.

Yes from now on stages will be more like first ones. It is unlikely that we will have changes in the top positions. Maybe Hirvonen could take De Villiers but is very difficult. Impossible if the south african will not make mistakes.
