    Actually I have some nice road books for a number of loops up to about 300km south of Lima now too. I just don't have a DVR & Grand rally route yet, nor do I have a bunch of F5er's willing to run them.

    I think the cunning plan was the tow-start. My guess is he was just too whipped from the Thursday Hell followed immediately by the transit to continue.

    Still ...

    Go, Toby!!!
    Go, Manuel!!
    Go, Ned, GO!!!

    oh I see. I haven't had much time to fiddle round. But the interface works fine and looks pretty good on the retina display - minus the graphics (designer bias there) I have just searching for specified riders one at a time or displaying the top of the list in live timing and cps.
    I have spent 3 stages soo far observing from odd locations.
    I am thankful for my iPhone.

    Wow, Chaleco out. His results have been rather lackluster after stage 1, but sad to see him out.

    BLACK AND WHITE FOR BARREDA

    After a particularly explosive start by the rider by SPEEDBRAIN HUSQVARNA soon pick up the trail
    leaders and installed in a surprising 2nd place just a few seconds of Marc Coma for much of
    the stage, in KM 270 of the special Joan takes a wrong decision and the wrong direction, which will cost
    precious minutes and the delay in particular to the clasification.

    Joan Barreda. "I had a good day, always pushing and trying to contact Marc visually and Despres, but in a complicated zone I made a mistake. On one hand I am saddened by the decision, because I could have done a good result today,
    but I found that my pace is fast and secure. I am satisfied that, although today I was wrong in
    a decision, I have made the mistake with a high speed, similar to the leaders. It is not easy, I've only run 7 stages of Dakar in my life between last year and this ..Stage could have posed a more conservative and probably would not have failed, but I decided to keep intact my ambitious spirit. Now rest here in Copiapo and we analyze the remaining stages. Our Team HUSQVARNA by SPEEDBRAIN stays close to the targets set, so expect a nice second half of the rally. We have shown that our HUSQVARNA is a great bike. # 23 "

    Copy your link from your pc, and add the m. just in front of the trackingdakar.com, like this for instance: http://m.trackingdakar.com/index.php?stage=7&type=M&stand=H&country=NLD,BEL&track=45,81,104,150,187
    Just change the link as needed

    And for everyone else, thank you for this great thread and amazing footage

    In short I unfortunately think you are correct. The valley he went up is not dissimilar to the correct one. Seeing him show up at WP9 without hitting the others around the same time as Birchy and co I fear the worst :cry

    Wonder how much of an effect his earlier injuries had.
