So on the official lists and most importantly on Mischa's tracker and monitor, Cyril's +15' penalty doesn't show, right?

Correct, as does Caselli's 3h20m penalty...

overall shows everyone with no penalty.

Yes, yes I know, PENALTYGATE

One would think that the rest day would be good for the ASO to sort out the details before they drop back in to the hot stages.

Foolish me.

I would rather see him on a yamaha as we are used to see him on.. I really like him and i hope he is getting a win at a dakar..

Well.. If anyone wonder i really do not like the honda's..

It's ironic that he struggles so many years as a privateer on a WR / YZ, and the year he signs to Honda the podium is out of his reach. And to add insult to injury, they are even thinking of replacing him. Talk about shit end of the stick

I would love for him to go back to Yamaha and win the race one day.

I'd like to see him take Cyrils spot over at ktm..then win the podium

The old switcharo...not a far fetched idea

Top 10 means it shows Top 10 and the selected countries/riders. With the highlights button you can toggle the green/red highlights if you don't like them.

Hope you enjoy the changes.

PS: It looks like the official "live timing" is delayed or skipping some WP's again. Monitor will show CP's and WP's together. WP's should activate not long after official results come in.

Best regards,
Mischa

Great work, Mischa! Love it!

Thanks.

If anything, Pyndon's earlier start means that, on the longest day, he'll be at the biv earlier.

Very good point.

More time for Pyndad to work on the bike, more time for Pyn to eat, rest and do the roadbook. More sleep for both.

Nice short interview with Le Patron

Good point.

Wonder how bad the trucks are making things, with them having started earlier.
