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

it's just cruelty this aso crap.



Great day for Faria anyway (and for Verhoeven...)

Saw that, didn't post yet because I was still trying to come up with something remotely funny containing "ASS".

No definitive feedback on what got damaged but it wasn't fuel.
I understand the comment, but it is still early days and a lot of aspects are still prototype whilst under development - expect to see them become more "stock" as the year goes on.

There are always 2 sides and don't forget this is a programme that all the riders bought into
As had been said, would it have been reasonable to move from clay model to Dakar winning manufacturer in 6 months - a tough ask

Why is the tank too small though, only Helder ran out of fuel once, or was it twice, nobody else did and even Pizzolito gave him fuel? Maybe Helder left himself short, after all it's not the first time.

Shhhherco!

France4 is on in just over 10 min. Looks like the feed from the original VLC list is working again.

Edit: although I have no audio.

got no funnies either... but it looks like he enjoys the hand-massage.

So am I to assume that Verhoeven's tracker was off the whole day and his stage win stands?

Or should I just look at JC's ass and try to come up with a funny caption?

Dakar.com

Frans Verhoeven has won the special, beating Ruben Faria by 1'38" and Joan Barreda by 3'01". Alain Duclos picks up a noteworthy fourth place, 3'17" behind the Dutchman. Four different constructors occupy the first four places: Yamaha, KTM, Huskvarna and Sherco. Fifth place has been taken by "Chaleco", 4'47" off the lead. Cyril Despres loses 9'15" to the day's winner and5 minutes to Faria and Chaleco in the general standings.

Talk about a Nav error!! I had to go outside and work in the rain!!


So...wtf is going on? :huh


Best I can tell it's all screwed up! ...and maybe Chaleco took 5 min out of Despres' lead?

ASS is all f'd up.

Who wants to hook a brother up with the link for France 4, I'm on phone only for a bit.

Verhoeven shows CP times 5th and 3rd, so it seems legit.

Wouldn't that be cool!! But I know there is NO way I could do the Dakar!!! None!! Laia is much more of a woman that I could ever be!!!!!
Hey, how about a navigator. Some side x sides have them!

No big changes in the overall today.
Lopez clawed back 4-5 minutes and just like yesterday he started very well but lost a lot in last few sectors. Faria had a good run, time-wise, but it's obvious he's there to watch Patron's back.
Jakeš still with a solid chance.
