Chaleco lost a minute on Despres between WP2 and 3.

Cyril isn't hanging around. Looks like he's motoring along.
It's awesome to see Luis listed as starting. I was panicking a bit when I couldn't find his name on trackingdakar.

Ruben through wp2 losing only 47" to Lopez.

Faria? Faria? Were are you?

Not through WP2?

Wow Daypray made up over a minute on Chaleco between wp2-3:eek1

at wp2... +00.47

Just to stir the pot, how much time overall did Faria spend carrying water? I see that he's about 14 minutes down overall at wp1.

you mean wp3??

Maray is a little faster than Mischa's tracker so far.

I was slow off the draw...at the time wp2

No tracking issues there then..

Pedrero flying through WP3, Helder 2nd by now. Chaleco couldn't keep the speed.

he did wait for about 10 to 15 minutes in one of the earlier stages.....

OK now there was a big shift in the numbers and CD is way down.

And Dakar tracking seems to be broken, giving Despres +00:08:50 @ WP3 for some reason :huh

Go RUBEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<-- making crepes

WTF????

+8.50...???

:eek1
