Dakar 2013 - Official Event Coverage - thank you ALL TeamF5, lurkers and posters!

I think the only one in touch is Pain, but don't see Kurt's time slower in the last section, so hopefully he wins it...

Caselli takes the stage. Not too bad, not too bad

the problem with the CDP riding conservatively theory is he wasn't. he was riding SLOOOOWWW

slower than almost 40 other riders so far... and i don't think that is just letting the young guns cook their tyres...

Yep, don't wish to throw water on the fire, but it will be very interesting to see how long he holds on to that 2 min on the ground lead tomorrow !

A third Race2Recovery Wildcat race vehicle has been forced to retire from the Dakar Rally as a result of an in-race accident.

The teeth of Dakar.

Fish not thru WP2 yet

All their life.

Hi Everyone,

I'm 20 pages late ut will go for these later. Jumping to the future to enjoy the ASS time

Faria rode loose again today, no 2 minutes waiting for Le Patron again. I wonder if Despres 26th time at WP1 was due to him spending some time looking for Ruben after DSS

Based on the cars only aliens can make it this quick. mortals probably take longer.

too much dust on the course that far back...

Caselli, Pain, Lopez & Verhoeven are 1st to 4th.

Now he is Made up two more spots

Cyril down 14' in the overall.

Yeah, it really seems a huge gap, though he did benchmark them from wp4 to 5. Hmm.

Potential that Cyril is just riding his own pace based on his estimation of equipment preservation for tomorrow, completely disregarding what others are doing today.


Tomorrow, we'll either be praising Cyril as a genius, or chiding his folly.

Despres +13m8s @ASS

Despres in the biv at 13 mins back

Edit DOH 205 yards.

Cheers dude but its the one that looks like the rallye number board I was thinking of

Pain in the ASS. Caselli's victory is secure!!
