I can't believe on what a roll Guillaume is on! Dad said he had gearbox issues on his bike, couldn't shift at certain times and was losing oil. Skipped the day yesterday but back en route today!
I can see from the tracking that 2 riders spent the night on the Special and are catching up to the course just now: Bouchet & Dubois... also Rabenlehner is missing as he is so sick I think that he is only doing transfer sections from bivouac to bivouac... C'est l' Afrique!

A special mention goes to Joost VAN CAUWENBERGE, who clocked the 3rd time of the day in his TOYOTA Pick Up V8, having left a long way behind this morning.

On the other hand, some lost a lot of time on this loop such as Jérôme PELICHET, who went out of the Special at CP1 and returned to camp by road.

"A man's Special stage" as Yves FROMONT commented, who finished 2nd copiloted by his son John driving his Tarek VOLKSWAGEN. A superb performance for this VW buggy constructed about ten years ago but still looks as fresh as ever. The proof, Abdelhamid ABOUYOUSSEF, "Mido" to his friends, won with his Tarek. It was a superb victory, as Stéphane HENRARD had achieved two years ago at Tenadi, with the same buggy on the same stage. Having left in next to last position, the Egyptian who is also the organiser of the Rally of the Pharaohs, bypassed the difficulties to finally win with 9’56'' of advance over the FROMONT family and 13’05'' in front of Jean Louis SCHLESSER who was apparently satisfied about maintaining first place overall. So a very happy Mido commented on the first victory of his career in front of the Sonangol Africa Eco Race cameras: "I attacked this morning because I wanted to wipe away the insult of my failure in the 7th Special. I didn't make any driving mistakes today and my copilot, Mahmoud NOURELDIN, was absolutely perfect. Before this rally, I'd never raced a two wheel drive buggy and I had to get used to it. Now I think that I understand how this wonderful vehicle works and I hope that this victory will be the first of many."[/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr style="mso-yfti-irow:1;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes"> <td style="width:415.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm" width="554"> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width:415.5pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="554"> <tbody><tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes"> <td style="padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm" valign="top"> [FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]Day's winners[/FONT] </td> <td style="width:15.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm" width="20"> </td> <td style="padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm" valign="top"> [FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]Yves FROMONT[/FONT] </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width:415.5pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184; border-spacing: 0" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="554"> <tbody><tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes"> <td style="width:415.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm" width="554"> [FONT="]Behind the three buggies, Joost VAN CAUWENBERG was the first 4x4 to cross the finish line.
