this was in MCN, i saw a 20 min penalty on the dakar site now i know waht for :

"
Craig Bounds is now a regular top ninety finisher despite his injuries, He ended the day in 83rd which leaves him 84th overall, but revealed to MCN that he missed the last way point so is expecting to get hit with a time penalty in the final results.
“It was a lack of concentration at the end of the stage and as a result I missed a way point. I think it’ll be a 20min penalty which is no big deal. I’ve ridden this stage twice before but it was different today because of the weather. It was much cooler and it was actually pouring down on the liaison. My back is still killing me but I’ve just got to put it out of my mind and carry on.”

Jakes hasn't followed him, that's good.

035 - Berglund stuck in the sand?

Sweden's Husaberg rider No. 35 has stopped after 118 km in the middle of a sandy zone. It seems like he may have got stuck in the sand and should free himself in the coming minutes.

Where TF is Pyndon???

[8340SU]

faria lost 2 minutes to lopez, there's only a 3 minute gap overall

[tserts]

10 minutes of nothingness between Caselli and Jakes (is it read Yakesh? That's how I would read it, I bet the English speakers call him Jakes..)

Nobody has been shown through WP1 in some time now... Hopefully it's a data delay

I think tracker issues... Si Pavey started behind him and is already at WP1

It looks like Svitko is out. After the crash yesterday when he went over the bars and broke the oil cooler he decided not to start today.

Alessandro Botturi is now heading in the right direction, but he made a 7-km detour that will probably lose him several minutes.

Yakesh is the correct. Everytime I hear Carlton's "Jakes" I cringe

CP2 is a fuel point.

He did correct himself about that last night, IIRC.
