So Caselli's is a great effort no question.

Without going to the archives to be sure, but there are some other names who I think have taken stage wins as rookies at Dakar...? My guesses would be Kari Tianen (2004/05-ish?) and I think that Andy Haydon may have pulled one out back in 1998. Malherbe and Kinigadner were also freakishly fast in their debuts back in the 80's and 90's.

Ruben Faria 2006 Stage 2!!!!

There is some stuff that Honda has made that i respect in past and for the moment i have to admit that it is good that they has entered the Dakar spectacle. It is good for the race but even if they will be a force to recon their podium's will not be easy on the Dakar not as long the other "factory" guys still are in. So.. Nooo i do not like Honda!!

As i wrote about 500+ pages back i knew this was gonna happen that Helder wold be more in trouble with the fuel issues he was in earlier.

I really feel sorry on Helder for this year and that i got into Hondas BS..

In the end maybe they forgot to fill it up..

And for whatever Flanny is a word cop or not i just dilligaf on that one..

Cyril:

The stage in Fiambala always holds surprises in store. I'm more tired today after 190 km than I was for the day before yesterday over more than 800 km. There was a storm in the dunes and it started raining. It wasn't easy to navigate. We came across some streams full of mud and water, which brought back bad memories from last year. I don't know what today means in terms of results, but I'm just happy to be here without too many problems. Fiambala really is a sh**-hole. We spent time in the water walking alongside the bike. Today, everyone was a little bit calmer, but I knew it would be complicated. I'm surprised that I haven't seen more riders finish behind me, because at one point, there were 6 or 8 of us riding together. The pace went up a lot after Kurt overtook me. Perhaps that's why I'm a bit tired!

Still waiting for details but probably he crashed and damaged the oil cooler. Maybe even some injuries, don't know yet.

Last year there were 3 or 4 people in his team, he finished behind the aliens. Now he has 40, but no fuel to finish a special...

On FR4, he also add that he has never driven so fast on a dakar thanks to Kurt in the last 60 kms of the stage. ( he followed him )
He thanked Caselli for that.

Is it just me or did the Dakar site go down? It looks like there hasn't been an update in at least an hour...
