2012 Dakar Stage 10 Quotes

Quotes from Stage 10 of the 2012 Dakar Rally


Robby Gordon - Finished 4th

" I hit a rock with both right-side tires and as you can see this wheel is way out, so we've got some broken parts. Do I think I can win again? Of course. I was passing him [Peterhansel], he didn't move over and I clobbered a rock and got two flat tyres at the same time. So, we've got our work cut out for us. We've got a damaged race car that we're going to have work on and there's a lot of damage from what I can see. Now we'll push, push, push even harder."


"About 30km from the finish, I was right on Peterhansel's tail and we were hitting the sentinel telling him we were there. After multiple times he wouldn't move over. We both missed a way point, and I tried my hardest to get around him. When I got in his dust, we had a big crash. Should have rolled the thing, but it blew the rear wheel off the truck as well as hurt the A-arm and transmission. Being down nearly 20 minutes is a lot, but we won't let that stop us. We'll work through the night to get the car ready for tomorrow. Anything can happen...they can have a bad day too." Gordon commented after moving to third in the overall standings.

getting payback is not the way to go, that'll get you a DQ

If Robby is allowed to race, he needs to focus on the task at hand, winning Dakar. Deal with the other bullcrap later.

The way the Stage 10 Summery Video states it; Robby is done, and the narrator leads you to believe that the appeal is just a temporary thing. Whatever it is, how sour do I feel right now. And I got to tell you this Dakar has been exciting....damn

It's the announcers job to add drama. Now you have the entire 'Going all out even though he may be disqualified' bit to use for the next 3 days. :)
