Mikkelsen is doing his own race - nobody close in front of him, nobody close behind him...

Very interesting first loop.
Road cleaning huge factor so the results are about the reverse of the road running order, but even considering that, couple of drivers are doing well (Hanninen, Lappi, Paddon - that one is maybe least of a surprise though).
Really shame for Breen. Meeke, well no vids yet so we dunno what happened, but clearly 3rth rally in the row with crash on first day is kinda telling. I mean IF the car is hard to drive, would it be so much of a problem to drive just a bit slower and not crash all the time. (he crashed again from 1st place)
While I didn't believe Mikkelsen would be top-runner immediately this is clearly slower than just about everyone expected. First split on first stage was on par with Meek and most others, from then on it went down. I have no doubt he is fast (just yesterday he beat the other 2 Citroen drivers in his first stage with the car). But 1 day of testing in France and running with Lefvfebre's setup obviously wasn't enough.
How he improves and loss/km is something to watch for. Not sure if I would be more happy if he lead after 3 stages like Meeke and then rolled.

Such a shame for Breen..
We have to retire from today's leg. Gearbox housing was damaged after a heavy landing and that caused an unfixable oil leak...

This year's Dakar has very small gaps. It seems like it's not as car breaking as the other years. After 7 stages in Dakar 2026: 16 drivers within 1 hour from the lead. 10th place at +25m 25s...
