The Qatari is not having a simple time on the rally this year. Hummer No. 300 has been at a standstill for several minutes a few hundred metres after CP2 at the 155-km point. Al-Attiyah had just achieved the best intermediate time in the car category.

Krzysztof Holowczyc has been the quickest of the drivers to finish on completion of this fifth special on the Dakar 2012. Stephane Peterhansel is second, 3'52” behind the Polish driver, and leads his team-mate Nani Roma by 7'47”. We are awaiting the arrival of Robby Gordon, because it seems that Nasser Al-Attiyah is still at a halt on the special stage at present...

Robby is already past him, so unless he turns around, Nasser is on his own.

Looks like 2nd at arrival for Robby.
Hope Nasser gets in because that at least gives Robby a parts car unless Nasser is above taking that role.

303 - Gordon sandwiched between the MinisAmerican Robby Gordon has just finished his day in second place on the special stage, 1'01” behind the best time achieved by Holowczyc, who still leads the Minis. The Hummers have once again been impressive today, systematically placing themselves amongst the quickest cars, until the problems encountered by Nasser Al-Attiyah who has been at a standstill on the special for more than 25 minutes at the time of writing.

Nice run for Robby today finishing 2nd in the stage 1:01 behind Holowczyc. Hopefully Nasser will continue.

Can Robby go back and help now. That he's done with the stage?

Big sheer to Robby from the Netherlands.
No Speed Energy Drink in our stores sadly. I would drink it even if it was only to support Robby as the Lone Wolf driver/owner in today's corporate world.

At WP 4 Robby was 1 sec ahead of Holowczyc and he finished 1:01 behind him.
I am guessing he did stop for Nasser but there was nothing he could do so he carried on.

Just My Thoughts.
