We went through plenty of dry river beds, so by the end, my goggles were dirty. There was a point where it was a little bit deeper and I fell. It was 50 kilometres from the end of the special, around the 180-km point. I banged my shoulder. I'll have a look at it at the bivouac this evening but it's really painful. We'll have to see if I can carry on. I fell because of the mud and my dirty goggles. I don't know what's wrong with my shoulder but it's really painful.

Shit !!! that's bad news.

Luis shows a WP3 time aka CP1. I wonder of he was stopped there or if he's on his way around the loop?

I'm predicting a small change in design for next year's Buggies

It is...

But not sure if it works in all browsers. If I make a screenshot I'm sure it looks fine

I'm wondering the same thing. THis is one time I wish he was slower today so could turn around and given a better shot at finishing the Dakar

As Jonah used to say, a bike can never have too much gas.... unless it's on fire.

That's the one I was thinking of. IIRC, he killed the euros on that special test.

That's what I like about Jonah... didn't used to say that much all that often... but when he did...

Luis checked in at WP3 at 12:37:07 (local time).
Race stop announcement was at 17:26 (France time, I assume), 13:26 local time, more or less 1 hour later.
I don't know usual delay from decision to announcement but it seems ... too tight for conclusions ....

EDIT : Barron(113) and SANTOS (136) checked in at wp3 at the same time as Luis and already checked in at wp4. He probably is riding to Wp4

Yep everything I've been looking at, seems Luis made it through and up against Fiambala.
No proof or anything official. Just me thinking out loud.
