I'm just watching today's Eurosport highlights - those shots of the cars across the salt flats are amazing

Honda will surely get one of the other Honda rider's to sacrifice his handlebar for Barreda?

I don't think it will be that easy...the break looked to be in triple clamp (a die cast unit)a lot of work if the navigation equipment has to be removed. My initial thought was to insert a tube inside both the triple clamp and the handlebar and use metal bonding glue to hold it all together maybe reinforced by bolts through the handlebar to locate it...

[Gilles4Ever]

After having ridden 120 km with a broken handlebar yesterday, Joan Barreda was not able to call on his assistance team to replace it, due to the rules of the marathon stage. The Spaniard therefore had to count on the solidarity of Argentinean Honda rider Demian Guiral who gave him his handlebars. In exchange Guiral received Barreda's patched up handlebar and tried to strengthen it, without the guarantee that the repairs will last out the day.

 

http://www.dakar.com.../live-feed.html

[Gilles4Ever]

Barreda already lost 1:37 currently 10th.

Coma leads Goncalves by almost 10 minutes

Van Niekerk also seems to have disappeared.

[Gilles4Ever]

Joan Barreda is being towed by Jeremias Israel Esquerre and has completed the first section of the day's special a long way behind. The Honda rider appears to be losing the Dakar!

[Gilles4Ever]

"@RallyRaidReview: 46 riders being reported as having hypothermia?"

[Gilles4Ever]

Quintanilla wins and is now only 2 minutes behind Goncalves who is 9 minutes behind Coma. 

 

the salt killed many bikes today and the race of quite a few top 20 riders

[Smile17]

Todays stage was total chaos. And as always beautiful scenery. Love it.

[hansmann]

A British Eurosport commentator who is usually the commentator for their Dakar program ( also does cycling reporting ).

I like him as a commentator, his voice has a fatherly tone to it 

 

Carlton Kirby is brilliant .

[Gilles4Ever]

Oh no, now Quintanilla is in big trouble. Price up to 3rd, impressive.

[Gilles4Ever]

Goncalves is flying (with Isreal on course) and has taken 3 minutes out of Coma, lead now under 6 minutes

[Gilles4Ever]

Price also gone by the look of things and Duclos has stopped, they are falling like flies

[Gilles4Ever]

Phew, Price and Quintanilla appear on the timing at the finish, probably a bug.

[paulb]

I really like the comprehensive website. It has all the information you could want about the adventure.

Having seen more close-ups of the damage today...I change my opinion...the handle bars seem to be attached in the normal way (4 bolts into the triple clamp)

[Imateria]

Is anybody else surprised on how badly Peugeot ar doing on their return to the Dakar?

[EightGear]

No, their 208 T16 R5 keeps breaking down as well.

[Gilles4Ever]

No, the car was lucky to make the start, this event is a big test for them really. The goal is just rack up racing miles.

[Gilles4Ever]

If today's live timing is to be believed (It wasn't yesterday), Quintanilla and Goncalves are gone and the top 5 are KTMs with Price 2nd half an hour behind Coma and Casale has caught Sonik in the quads.

 

http://gaps.dakar.co...10/aso/ukie.php

[Gilles4Ever]

Casale has had to withdraw because of a mechanical. 

[Gilles4Ever]

Big crash for Roma, he and nav ok, car not.

At the end of the stage Goncalves and Quintanilla are there in 2nd and 3rd.

 

Price is 4th by less than 30 seconds, brilliant. 

[dweller23]

Today pretty much ended any competition for the victory apart from trucks. It's all about the reliability now.

[keiichi]

I think in the bikes the gap is still reasonably small for the victory to be disputed beyond reliability issues (7 min between Gonçalves and Coma I believe).

 

As for Peugeot being lucky to make it to the "grid" and basically using this year's edition as a test, I can understand it, but on the other hand, from a PR perspective, it seems a bit too risky. Surely they didn't have much choice, but I would assume the kind of thrashing they're having is probably hurting the brand.

Goncalves has taken 2 minutes out of Coma already, lead down to 5 minutes

[Gilles4Ever]

Another spectacular turn of events on the Dakar! Author so far of a superb third place in the general standings on his first Dakar, Yazeed Alrajhi has had mechanical problems with his Toyota and is said to have decided to drop out of the race just several kilometres from the start of the day's special.

 

http://www.dakar.com.../live-feed.html

[Gilles4Ever]

Price has passed Quintanilla for 3rd, Coma leads Goncalves by just over 5 minutes

[JRodrigues]

15min penalty for Gonçalves: engine change with Barreda

[CameraMan]

Although the Dakar Rally has already come to the middle - try Dakar 2015 Live Timing - http://dakar.rally-video.eu/

[Gilles4Ever]

15min penalty for Gonçalves: engine change with Barreda

Just ruins the race for the lead, doesn't change any positions, Al Attiyah is still winning stages and looks like the Nikolaev charge has stopped so barring mechanicals I think we have the final results at the front

[jonpollak]

Our Hero wins stage 13...that's right Lucky stage 13

 

 

 

 

Nasser Al Attiyah WINS DAKAR

 

Well Done

Woo Hoo! Watch out for Tom Price in the future....another Marc Coma in the making

[Smile17]

Marc coma what a legend! 5 victories and he's not even French.

[dweller23]

Goncalves was fighting until the end, good to see such spirit. Shame that they shortened the final stage. I know the conditions were super bad, but come on, who wouldn't like some drama on the final day!

[Hkruijf]

Congrats to the winners and finishers! Kamaz and Coma did it again, as expected, but huge respect to them. Al Attiyah was very impressive this year, making far less mistakes then usual. Wish someone had given him a harder time though. A bit dissapointed by the Peugeots, by let's hope they are stronger next year.
