Biiiig shakeup coming, with http://dakar.com reporting almost all riders mis-navigating at km118. Helder and Paulo are on course.

Maray reporter going apeshit on the sat phone. Leo, are you listening in?

Is Si Pavey in trouble???

Fire your Maray up.

Chaleco came through wp9 an hour ago physically. Looks like about 90km to the finish.

No where near as much drama if you translate the French correctly, or just wait for the English version on Dakar.com.
"118 km into today's special, all the leaders on the course are straying off the right path. They're all heading towards the mountains instead of following the river, as they should. It looks like Hélder Rodrigues and Paulo Gonçalves are the only ones who are still on track, but some of the leaders seem to be backtracking."

Source? Maray?

How many of the leaders went to the hills instead of down the river?

NM... Almost all of them. :)

they are somewhere in the middle of the track, just bikes passing

@RallyRAIDio = PackMule & Flood on here. Just between you and me

I imagine the river may not be a nice place to be given the rain.


Anyone remember RiverGate last year? Pity the motos who will be mixed up with the cars!

Noticed that too... still at wp7 ?:huh

Twitter.

Thats where Peterhansel hit the bike. Biker not moving fast enough for him.

Foxsports is on for 2 hours

No.

no wp10, they are all lost, we must wait for helder, who is 19th on track

Sounds like Helder had his own nav issue later on. Dakar.com
