I've scoured FB and twitter but found no info.

Could this be the day that EFI bikes trump KTM?

Mischa this deserves another call out...

The updated positions and filters added to the site are fantastic.

It has to do with the way the cache in the website and feeds are managed, the revocation of that cache is not that stable i have noticed and created some of the funny results. it is also the reason that the DB might be available and capable of realtime timing but we dont get it straight but at bulks when the cache is cleared in a TTL of about 10 minutes.


Web tec out!

If I recall correctly either 12000 or 16000 + VAT (or 12000 + VAT = 16000. bugger, have to look it up)

That is all

Caselli, Lopez, Faria Despres at wp1!!

Hiya,

Thanks K_N_Fodder for delivering the list. I have been searching around and found 2 other drivers. I'm not sure if 175 was, so he's not listed yet. I heard 16 drivers started in Malle Moto. I have only 13. But I put it online and I can add them later if you find out who should be listed there also.

The old url http://trackingdakar.nl/malle-moto/ works again, but you can select Malle Moto in the class filter too.

Last night someone asked if it was possible to show relative positions to overall field. For now that's not so easy, so... no? :-) I have to look into that later.

Enjoy the stage and see ya soon,
Mischa

Before it gets busy, note these broadcast times:

France4 @ 1840 CET, 1240 EST

Eurosport2 @ 1830 GMT, 1330 EST

Eurosport1 @ 2215 GMT, 1715 EST

France2 @ 0020 CET, 1820 EST


That ought to be close to accurate, though yesterdays times on Fr2 got pushed back 15 min or so. It's been my experience that european sporting coverage is flexible, not on a rigid schedule like north american coverage. So don't be surprised when it's not on when they say it's gonna be on. It will be, once they've finished their espresso and chatted up the new intern.
