Dakar 2013 - Official Event Coverage - thank you ALL TeamF5, lurkers and posters! - Page 685

So guys, it seems that we're a bit light on TV coverage during the rest day... This is all I've managed to come up with (I check ES1/2 and FR2/3/4)

Rest day:
@ 16:55 (UTC/GMT) - France 3 (?? - big, 1 hour long, hole in the schedule)
@ 19:41 (UTC/GMT) - France 2 (Image du jour : Dakar 2013) ONLY 3 MINUTES LONG!
@ 22:00 (UTC/GMT) - Eurosport 1 (Highlights)

It's looking up to be a slow day in the f5irehose...

Well thank god its a rest day I can come up for air and see the family again, maybe call in to work, and change clothes.

Morning all!

Thanks goodness for the rest day, the young guy was having trouble keeping up on his first F5 Dakar

ric678 · 01-13-2013, 06:44 AM

I was kinda wondering the f5irehose would slow to a trickle....Guess so!!

That looks very similar to my situation, except I've got two cats instead of a child. =)

I was his mechanic at Aus Safari 2011.....I'm sad to say he can't even wield a tyre iron in anger! However he's incredibly resourceful and can smell out generous souls to help him at fifty paces. He's also pretty fast on a bike. But needs to work on his soft skills. Just like Joan Barreda does. Get to work Manuel and find a mechanic! We are all still cheering for you!

Yep, I know what you mean

When this Dakr is over, we need to sponsor a engine teardown/rebuild class for Manny.

I have a few old bikes that could use some nerfing

Unfortunaltely, I only know how to fix stuff if its just barley possible, impractical and there are no tools or hope

Caught up again, that was rather busy for the rest day

And the best news is that I was able to do a VLC swap in the marathon bivouac and now I can watch France 2, 3 & 4

bluesurf · 01-13-2013, 07:05 AM

Early and cold (3 degrees). Marking my place to go back 60 posts and catch up later after volunteer day

dresda · 01-13-2013, 07:07 AM

Why is the Australian rider Matt Fish so far back now? He's got a 9 hour penalty? Why? Cumulative missed waypoints? Multiple engine changes? Searched this thread but nothing .....

(BTW, I thought maybe Depres wore that really annoying headband because his ears stuck out but no, his ears are okay so I can only think its a Contractual Obligation Headband for the sponsers).

Yes a few penalties with several of 15 mins - engine swops? - anyone know where to find out what the penalties are for ?

knybanjo · 01-13-2013, 07:18 AM

Y'all are funny.

Cyril wear hats too, ya know.

It's probably just easier to carry the bandanna along during the actual race.....hats don't fit under your helmet very well.
