STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: CORDOBA > LA RIOJA

Connection 279km | Special Stage 353km | Total 632km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The masters of the handlebars and the steering wheel will be most at ease when faced with the challenge of the day. Although the cars and trucks will be separated from the motorcycles, their respective programmes will have similar features. Winding tracks will be interspersed with fast ones, as the competitors pass through a succession of landscapes from wooded areas to barren plateaux. The whole setting may remind the most open-minded participants of Ireland in some places!

You know. I've been thinking about it and perhaps he's on the list until he DOESN'T start. But the ASO is giving him the option...

Good Morning. The Bikes started a while ago. Thru WP 3 Kurt Caselli is in 10th place and Johnny Campbell is in 20th.

Who know's how true this is. It's from Sky Sports...
Nasser Al-Attiyah has been forced to pull out of this year's Dakar Rally due to a mechanical failure.

The 42-year-old, along with co-driver Lucas Cruz, had been pushing for the overall lead in the race until repeated break-downs, caused by a broken water pump, on the 851km stage nine between Tucuman and Cordoba in Argentina forced them to abandon.

At the start of the ninth stage, Qatari Al-Attiyah was second in the overall classification, just over three minutes behind 11-time Dakar winner, Frenchman Stephane Peterhansel.

Al-Attiyah, who won the race in 2011 and was second in 2010, was taking part in a buggy developed by Red Bull Motorsport.

The Red Bull Rally Team's other entry, driven by Spain's Carlos Sainz, was also forced to withdraw from the race because of mechanical problems on the sixth stage.

Thru WP 5 Caselli is in 8th and Campbell is in 22nd for the stage. The Way Points are relatively close together so there should be a lot of updates today (assuming that they all work).
