Dakar 2013 - Official Event Coverage - thank you ALL TeamF5, lurkers and posters!

Pyn thru WP6 +00:51:16

RG faster through WP2 than Sainz (-1min) & Peterhansel (-2min) by the way. The attack has begun?

Glad to see he's still moving!!

I am guessing he must have gotten stuck. Peterhansel also lost some time to SAinz in that section... more powerfull 2 WD and inflating and deflating capabilities would do that...

Then is the brain sending too much juice thorugh the nozzle?


not a lot of room for running around lost, either

Peterhaqnsel @WP4

Manny thru WP6 +00:59:03
Having a gooood day!

he started so far back it will take awhile to know for sure

Pal!

Pyn now thru WP7 +00:56:18

Any news on what caused the delay on the last sector for HR?

The teams are allowed to change the fuel capacity mid-race? Certainly not fuel again right.... :huh

Does anyone understand who the rider is?

My 500 burned 9l in 30 miles the other day, slower sand tracks, but still, they can get thru fuel like a sheik if they are after it. I am really surprised that they didn't match the Ktm 36l capacity.

Tomorrow's stage will be different at the front of the race

The stage was very different from what we went through during the first two days. I started from afar and went flat out throughout the stage in an attemt to catch up with Cyril Despres, which I think I managed to do. I focused on navigating and finding the waypoints, and everything went well. But tomorrow's stage will be different at the front of the race, so I'm taking things one day at a time.

All in the pic

Nasser takes 3min off Sainz's time @ WP3, RG 2nd +1m44s

Sainz now @ WP4 +5m26s

Ditto, I recall a post where HRC was testing and calculatting very carefully the amount of fuel they would need (secret Japanesse formula )...seems real life versus testing grounds are a bit different..bad mistake on their part. Dont reivent the wheel comes to mind

Yeah - Can' wait to talk to David.

Keeping the slow clap going for our friend JC!
