‎"Today we had a very good performance from Quinn who finished in fourth place. We had some minor problems and if we hadn’t had that then we would have probably won the stage, so it was a really good day for him. We are in a good position for the second day being 30 seconds from the leader in fourth place." Said Henk Hellegers: Bel-Ray SuperB Honda Team Owner.

QUINN CODY EXCLUSIVE QUOTE: "Today just wasn't my day, I need to consider my self lucky that I'm still in the race. On the liaison this morning my tire blew off the bead, who ever mounted it broke the bead and kept mounting it. When it blew it also put a hole in the rear tank and jacked up the brake line,I was BUMMED and thought my rally was over, I didn't have a support truck with in two hours of me and no cell service. I pulled the wheel off and stood by the road (lucky I was still on the service route) and ended up flagging down the big KTM service truck and they gave me a tire and moose and even mounted it for me, those guys saved my ass! I almost missed the start of the special but managed to get there.
The special started out wide open at high elevation for the first 140k I almost never took it off the stop. Then it dropped into some rocky sandwashes and into the desert, I was riding good then the bike started cutting out, I messed with it for a while then just rode with it cutting out finally it got so bad I stopped and took a pice of fuel line and bypassed the fuel pump and it corrected the problem but still lost a bunch of time."

Glad he's still in it, and that's a racer for you who can diagnose a problem and fix it if it's fixable.

American Quinn Cody, assisted after a fall by Juan Pedrero, soon met up with one of the medical helicopters, whose team diagnosed a suspected fracture of the collar bone and head injury. His condition is not alarming, but nevertheless he has had to withdraw from the race.

Well, that just sucks! No Quinn and no Jonah.
Glad he looks to be OK.

I strongly dislike when rescue is there before you come too.

Quinn Cody withdraws from the DAKAR due to injury. We are very proud of Quinn and this news is horrible to hear but the most important thing is that he is OK and being treated for his injuries. Quinn is as tough as they come and while this is a temporary setback it will only serve to strengthen his resolve to win the mighty DAKAR.
