Page defaults to checkpoints with starting times now. I think it remembers where you have been last time, maybe I should change that. So for everybody: keep an eye both "Live Timing" and "Checkpoints".

Standings now defaults to "Overall Results" as it should ;-) Sorry for the inconvenience.

Francisco López (KTM) left the bivouac at 5:30 am local time, heading south-east on the famous Panamericana Sur, which swerves away from the Pacific coast near Pisco. He was followed by veteran Frans Verhoeven (Yamaha) and the two revelations in the Top 5, Pablo Quintanilla (Honda) and Patricio Cabrero (Kawasaki). It will then be 2012 Dakar champion Cyril Despres' turn to tackle the 85 km link section leading to the start of today's special: a 242 km quest on the sand and dunes which will take the riders back to the bivouac in Pisco.

seven Aussies starting within eight minutes of each other. could be some friendly rivalry and moral support for all!
Smith at 7:46:30 and Faggotter at 7:54:30 with Fish, Grabbo, O'conner, Strange and Pavey in between go you lot

Ha Ha - they had already made the adjustment then - things not that bad after all - penalty to me

I did question how he could be a net over 4 mins on 40, but the ASO never lies

This picture epitomises this ADV F5 phenomenon: " You blokes can't take a piss without us knowing about it..."

nah, just waiting for the Special to start. Still confused whether the top 10 will start 2 or 3 minutes apart. I thought the 3 minute interval would bring a nice twist to the racing. We shall see

Some people may have a highly responsible job on which employee's count on them to be focussed to make the right decisions and not gallafanting around on an internet forum chatting to mates and posting Miss Poland's, blond or brunette!.

Yeah and some of us work on Sundays, especially those who live in the Middle East, Axis of Evil et al. Hard working people who make sure your local service station has gas when you need it.

Unless you're C. Depres. Then all you'd manage is getting stuck in a mudhole
