2017 STAGE 10

CHILECITO- SAN JUAN

January 12th, 2107

The arms, shoulders and legs of the riders will be put to a rude test, especially during the long “trial’ section that will be the key moment early in the day. The special stage will become a lot more rolling as it nears its end, but the navigation subtleties will impede maximum attacks. Errors will be penalized not in seconds but in minutes.

Finding the right track between WP1 and WP2 must be a nightmare.

11:09 Peterhansel collides with a biker
Stéphane Peterhansel has collided with the biker Simon Marcic after 83 km. The Frenchman stopped for a long while to provide assistance to him whilst awaiting the medical team, before resuming the stage. He may well see the return of the time lost this evening.

Seeing the result of this collision is an open femur fracture. Not much more life threatening than this type of injury. I'll bet there is in-car of this and probably copter footage as well.

Bang-Bang Barreda is in, 5h49m45s. I do not expect this to be the winning time today

Sad. The hardest working, dedicated man that ever promoted an off road event has passed...

Pablo Quintanilla was counting on the tenth stage in order to put pressure on Sam Sunderland. In second place in the general standings, the Dakar 2017 could have been the rally which saw his riding mature and the one that may have brought victory for the Chilean. However, a catastrophic start to the stage during which the Husqvarna rider sought the correct direction for more than an hour, then a heavy fall on the second part of the special put an end to his dreams. Disorientated after a head injury, Quintanilla was finally forced to drop out of the rally for a third time.
Pablo was 2nd overall -20m58s
