    Reports say that Thomas was killed in a crash with a police vehicle. It's now coming from different local journo sources, so fear it's true.

    Thomas Bourgin, 25, from St. Etienne

    FFS Cyril now bumped down to 16th at WP1... when exactly is he going to "attaquer" ???

    Somethings wrong. 6.36 down at WP2. I don't hink it's a matter of "riding conservatively" any more... :huh

    It gives him two dust trails to watch, and 4 minutes he can make up while doing it.

    Or not. He can pace himself, not get too close, and have someone else with the time penalty of opening the stage.

    Now, if it were to rain... I think it would really change the tactics. Not much chance of that happening in the desert, though.
