2012 Dakar Stage 8 Quotes

Quotes from Stage 8 of the 2012 Dakar Rally

Robby Gordon - Finished 2nd

" Nani Roma may have beat me, but it must have been close. Beating Peterhansel by seven minutes makes this a great day. In all honesty, I did not attack too much, except towards the end of the stage. At any rate, I was not at my best in the first 300 kilometres, only in the last 150. I felt the others breathing down my neck, so I accelerated."

Nasser Al Attiyah - Finished 5th

"We had a problem with an engine belt. We repaired it... and shortly after it was the alternator's turn to need a repair. But then we started attacking in earnest. There were six cars in front of us and we overtook all the Minis, as well as De Villiers' Toyota. We did a good job. They are nervous because I overtook all of them, but that is not my problem. I know everything is going smoothly, and we will see how far we can go."

Great day for Team RGM!

Not to change the subject but can we get a list of all the crew that is on the RGM Dakar team? In the past I have known most of who went down with the team. This year I dont know? It would be great to get a list of crew and where they are from. Are they regular RGM employees ( Off-road or NASACR) or do they work for other fab shops like many have in the past.

TOG or WJM is this possible?
