Official Dakar 2010 Coverage + Discussion. THANK YOU EVERYONE, LURKERS AND POSTERS!

Coma looks really offended by this
He denied the change. I can not understand how they can charge him penalty if they have no video of actual changing?
We will see.

I think Depres is trying to used everything he can to stop Coma, but he should focuse on beating him straight up and stop all the BS

Who was it we saw at the end of the stage the other day with a completely trashed back wheel?

With all the cameras and supporters around this event (and not to mention other competitors) I don't know how Coma would get away with something like this. Someone would definitely have seen him and so far we haven't actually had any witnesses. Just people saying it 'looked' new.

My hat off for these girls, Meyer, Tamsin, Pol, Gianetti and Seel!!!
Real fighting spirit!!

Gianetti just in btw, in 76th.

wow, that is great!!

That was the best yet---finally good dune footage

This is plain and simple stupid all eyes were on Depres,Chaleco and Coma and the race was very close one from another ecept Chaleco camaras would it catch something like that and he is 2 good of a racer to do something like that and if i m wrong i still have to said this

GO COMA !!!!!!!

With all those dunes in the beginning of the stage, wouldn't everyone's rear tire be looking pretty fresh!

Here is Coma's tire after KM 177.... Looks pretty new to me.

What does a brand new tire look like after 177km in powder sand?

Oh, the DRAMA!!

Don' look down, no? You look me in the eye, no? What problem? You mess with me?

It is in the proper shape to take 423km more
How do you think the other tires look like in the same km?

Now that's real inside reporting!!

he looks pissed for sure, we'll see what will be the verdict

Thanks everyone for all the updates and insights, making this and exciting day!

It's minus 20 C outside, wish I could be in Chile right now....
but tomorrow, or later today(saturday),I'll go for a little cross-country trainingsession in Nordmarka, the woods north of Oslo, visiting a cafe named Ullevålseter, have a cup of warm coco and chat to the folks working there - and give my congrats on the progress of their son....

the weatherforcast says the temperature will stay in the -20 to -18 area....

need to dress well.....

Ok. Off to bed. Good night!

Now tell us your sources.
Who do you have inside?

Pehaps the Swiss should run the Dakar, not the French?

Oui?

From #110 Martin Freinademetz' Facebook:

Hey, is this an assistance vehicle? What's he doing with that wheel?

But if the swiss ran it, everything would be perfect and there would be no drama...
