No, not in and not clocked at WP4, but that doesn't mean he's not having timing problems though.

Can you please mail to mischa@visser.it ? Thanks ;-) Would be best if I could use FTP to access the server to store some files.

Thanks peeps! Now I have to donate? :-)

You got mail

Finally the posis list comes alive for positions other than the start of the stage, but no BC there either.

Can the more experienced of you (TSC) offer comments on final gearing? Would this change from stage to stage, does sand require different ratios than the hard-packed?

thanks

Wasn't another Honda rider hanging back, I assume to give assistance (as only another competitor can do so in the special) So maybe there's a chance still

Hmm, just what I was thinking Mad Cow. Doesn't look too good though unfortunately.

c'mon Bill! From Laia's tweet he could be having serious issues in the heat and the dunes?

and where the hell is BC?

I hope it's just timing issues.

URL query strings work in Misc's new location. For example:

http://live-timing.nl/2012/index.php...=188&country=*

where 'track' is rider number
'country' is country abbreviation (UPPERCASE) or (* for all countries)

Verhoeven angry at the work his mechanics put in;

Yesterday, stage 1, ico came loose.
Today, clutch spring mounted the wrong way, no proper clutch action, not safety wired either, then a bolt cone loose from the triples, jamming the steering, used a bolt from the rear tank as a replacement..

Fuming...

Rider hits cow:

RALLY - RAID - He suffers from renal hemorrhage ...

Death still lurks on the Dakar. Less than 24 hours after the death of an Argentine driver, the French Bruno Da Costa hit a cow at 175km / h. The pilot is aware and currently hospitalized for bleeding in the kidney. The shock occurred at the 128th km of the stage between Santa Rosa de la Pampa and San Rafael, Argentina, Monday.
Suffering from a kidney, the pilot number 44 told his trainer Frank Hebert after the accident, before being evacuated to a hospital in San Rafael. Then redirected to the hospital in Mendoza, more suitable for the treatment of such injuries. High-level enduro, Da Costa was playing his second Dakar after finishing 29th last year for his first appearance in the rally.

Edit: 175km/hr is 108mph!!!!
