STAGE 10 TRACKING
STAGE 10: BELEN > LA RIOJA
Connection 485km | Special Stage 278km | Total 763km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Fiambala dunes have become one of the decisive stages of the Dakar. This year, they feature at the heart of the most critical rally sequence, when drivers and their vehicles will have to demonstrate their aptitude for extreme endurance. Moreover, the day’s stage presents the longest dune section in the shared history of the Dakar and Fiambala, off-piste for most of the time. In short, an open door for desert specialists.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

The only thing to hit the tracker so far is bikes rolling through CP2. No times listed on any WP's or CP1.
Sainz just showed up on the tracker, CP2 = 1:50:47 and WP1 = 1:53:10

good morning
in other news - I guess the Mini guys are pissed
06:40 : No penalty for Peterhansel (Peugeot), but Mini appeals!
Race officials decided not to penalise Stéphane Peterhansel after Mini filed a complaint for 'refuelling in an unauthorised area'.Mini was not satisfied with this decision and said it would lodge an appeal with the FIA's International Court of Appeal. The Court should rule on the admissibility of their request in three days' time, before the rally finishes in Rosario. Stéphane Peterhansel, who has won more editions of the Dakar (11) than anyone else, is currently in second place overall, 7'02' behind his Peugeot teammate Carlos Sainz.
For once I am backing the Mini. FIA, even though run by a frenchman Jean Todd, he is still a fair guy. Hopefully he sticks it to the Pugs.
