Now, about those sedatives... Neil?

Glad I'm not the only one to have a brain explosion in the F5 club. Here you go, have one of these

Speedy Goncalves AVERAGE speed for the SS was 110km/hr - over 315 km...that is insanely fast for a rough desert ride.

Helder Rodrigues to open the track tomorrow and to possibly loose two minutes to Cyril Despres. But with an overall advantage of 11' already. Husqvarna team doing great...

Shouldn't Goncalves be opening tomorrow?

[Drif10]

On my phone, can't surf much. Any word on jc?

Actually, Cyril will depart from the 11th position tomorrow (20'30" after Gonçalves, right?) and 18"30 behind H.Rodrigues. A lot of action to expect again!

[Stagehand]

bummer about COma-

It was nice to see Fretigne in the list... surprised there hasnt been more noise from him.

I expect Cyril to unleash hell tomorrow. He was doing a very commendable job for the first two thirds of the stage today. When leading it is only normal for the guy behind to make up the 2 minutes on you in the first, say, 80-100kms of the stage.

That was not the case for the majority of his run today, I think it was a navigational error while trying to find a waypoint that screwed him up and cost him so much time. Helder, when stopping to see if Marc was OK gained a huge advantage. Not saying in any way that it was malicious or in bad sport, but effectively he probably had 5-6 more "rabbits" (riders) pass in front of him, which 90% of the time means that he didn't have to navigate, and he certainly didn't have to waste time to locate the tricky WP. All this while gaining back about 8 minutes in time (or however long it was that he stopped to check up on Marc)...

Hope what I'm saying makes sense

Well it Helders to lose. With an 11 minute lead he just needs to play it smart and he'll be on top of the podium. HRC has gotta be stoked

Stoked to see young Sam in the top ten

HRC water carriers....a bit far back to be effective...just saying...
