5th stage today Guillaume Martens is coming back, gaining positions and moving through the pack. He finished a respectable 6th on this stage Thomas (Schattat Sr.) dropped a bit, finished the stage 18th, and Julia 21st. In the General standings, Guillaume is 20th, he gained one position, Julia is 21st (also gained one pos) and Thomas is 14th (he dropped one, but I am sure he will get it back ! ) (Results here >> http://www.africarace-live.com/en/cla-etp1.html )

A word concerning the two brothers in law from Belgium, Joris VAN DYCK and Gwen BACKX which continue to impress and finish 4th and 7th on their KTMs. Concerning Julia SCHRENK, the Rally QUEEN, the resting day was very good for her as she finished 18th in front of few bikers for her first rally.

This from Twitter... Africa Eco Race ‏<s>@</s>Africaecorace <small class="time"> 3h </small> Aujourd'hui spéciale de 466 km entre Chami et Amsaga 20 motos parties ,l'allemand Schattat #104 non partant Does this mean he is out??
VERY HAPPY FOR THOMAS SCHATTAT!!! HE COULD STILL RACE WITH A SPARE ENGINE. gO ON, MY FRIEND, AND GO TO THE PINK LAKE, AS WE DO TOGHETER IN THE FIRST EDITION 2009!!! CHEERS Thomas!
Yesterday after the special, my dads Yammy broke down on the liaison. Julia was kind enough to sacrifice her spare engine, and from what you can see on the photo, he spent all night installing it, but it seems as though it wouldn't start. I didn't get to talk with him today, but I hear it sill isn't working and he will give it another mechincal shot tomorrow!

Noel ESSERS is constantly improving, 2nd of the day with nearly 13 minutes in front of Elisabete JACINTO which keeps her second place on the podium for the moment in front of Nikos KOVACS and his yellow SCANIA renamed the Yellow Submarine after having been stucked a lot in the sand.[/FONT] </td> </tr> <tr style="mso-yfti-irow:1;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes"> <td style="width:397.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm" width="530"> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width:397.5pt;border-collapse:collapse;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="530"> <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] </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> [FONT="] [/FONT] <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;border-spacing: 0" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr style="mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes"> <td style="width:397.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm" width="530"> [FONT="]The 8th stage is composed of a 337km loop around Akjoujt.

Some participants applied the hints of the sporting director of the SONANGOL AFRICA ECO RACE, the others who didnt are still in the dunes. Here are some words of René METGE concerning this stressful sandy stage in Mauritania : [FONT="]« I had announced this stage has a harsh one and I insisted on the importance of the capes. In reality, what I expected difficult was quite easy and what I thought would be easy became very difficult. The biggest issue came after CP 3. The participants had to go on a 11° capes and instead they went straight into a very difficult dune field. Some continued during 5km before noticing their error. I then decided to stop the helicopter to show them the way myself. Some managed to get back on the right track, others damaged their clutch and stayed stuck during a long moment and didnt get back before a long time.

Thanks for the updates. Have to admit I'm actually enjoying the Africa ECO Race coverage on Eurosport more than the S/A ASO Dakar - anyone else the same?
There's much more footage of the actual race, riding and driving than the dakar footage, that's for sure. Entry fee puts me off doing it though to be honest
