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!

why not, the ASOles gave him a bailout as big as GM's on Saturday.I notice he's not on this list http://www.dakar.com/dakar/2013/us/stage-9/live-timing/sector-2-ass...

yeah I noticed that too. Plus, he's not on the withdrawl list as Weavers and Spinelli are. Perhaps he did finish after all and they failed to denote the time in both the stage and overall standings.

The engine story is bs spin to make it look like it wasn't his fault. Look at the pic and you can see the hub is broken off and the stub axle is at an interesting angle.

My bet is he is out of the race. ASO just hasn't updated the site because they dgaf, lol

The axle is at the right angle as the hubs are mid board
or out board floaters the axle goes through the hub

BS. He didn't finish. He's not starting where this list shows. End of story. Unless the ASO does something weird...
