Go, LUIS!!

De Rooy going to ruin the Kamaz party?

Go Luis!

I'm going for a ride....must have real food this evening

He certainly did last year, shame he's not doing better this year. Looks like Kamaz didn't like being knocked off the top spot on the podium last year after Vlad Chagin retired from his long run of truck wins.

$5.00 measly bux!

He lost 1.5 hour in stage 9 because of technical problems. Rapid assistance didn't have the specific parts to fix it. There he lost Dakar.

I just hear a rumor... (from a very very very poor source, i admit... ) That Le Patron is swapping engine!

Any truth about that or just wishfull thinking?

That's pretty cool.
Where did you scoop that?

Wishful thinking I reckon. I wish I'd done what I said I'd do and put $1000 on Despres before this rally started. I was going to do it as soon as I heard Coma was out, saw odds of 3.5-1 still! But didn't want to risk the engagement ring fund.
Silly me.

woot woot scramble the black helicopters!! find the mustache man!! send the spy drones out!!

uhmmm,

That would be a death wish. Better to go out with a bang

Etienne getting his hands dirty!

Working, but peeking when I can. Nice new rumors.

I got an anonymous PM stating that Ruben Faria, Andrei Karginov and Luis Belaustegui have signed at the Red Bull Repsol Jingcheng factory team and will race the complete 2013 championship.

And the damn shirt is still as blindingly white as a bandana! How many of the damn things did he bring?

"Let's see, briefs or boxers? Oh, thong!"

That's not going to happen! =)

That's a shame. Was watching the timing hoping he'd move again. Always seemed like a good fellow.
