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

Losing a lot of time always makes a difference.

If your bike was falling apart underneath you to the extent you didn't trust it anymore, would you continue to risk your life on it?

Verhoeven says there's been a mistake in the route - one WP was 1km left from where it should've been according to roadbook & compass, explaining the upsets of today.

Even the Peruvian mounties are having problems on the finish dunes.

Mate... they're in the finish (ASS)... ASO tracker is FUBAR...

better to check in with "Live timing"... the top ten auto's are in now...

Nasser was at the time warned to not over-rev the engine as the belt would come off. When his chances on a good finish were shot, he just gave up so he could be at the Monte Carlo rally.

I have a feeling this is the part of the special that caught a few riders out. Note the 3 exclamation marks (!!!) at the top. I recall one of the riders saying it was like a shear drop that they went over flat out?

Much obliged

Time bonus awarded to TSC!

They were talking about the different waypoints on the roadbook and the problems with it

That's Jean Paul Cottret's roadbook...

there at 60,71 total, it says: BYPASS BROKEN GORDON !! DAMN BROKEN

Can you translate that into English?

I use vlc to watch movies but don't understand a single fukkin thing on that page. :huh

Yes, looking at it again, km 59.02 and km 60.71 seem to contain a WPS.

Glad I'm not alone.

Copy the stuff in the "code" box, paste it into notepad.
Save this as "KennysDakar.m3u" on your hard drive.
Open VLC player.
Click "Media" -> "open file" and open "KennysDakar.m3u"

You can now switch between all TV stations.

Hey...anybody see a Poskitt update?

ASO must have known it in advance he would break down there

Hatton could be hearing the cars soon?

Thanks...sounds easy enough when you say it like that.


...here goes....

Cars are well through him, probably hearing the trucks soon enough. Lead cars are already in.

Also on that page was a WPN (hidden?) and some other waypoint for GPS activation, so just adds to the wrong waypoint discussion

That save is just awesome. It must make the Eurosport coverage later tonight.
