Joan Barreda: "I can't even put my foot on the floor"Pushing hard in an attempt to move up in the general classification, the Spaniard made a mistake that could well send him home."I started the stage all guns blazing and everything was going well, but around kilometre 300 I went off-track and had a nasty fall. I think I broke my knee, and from then the pain made me slow down. Now it's time to see what we can do about it, but it's looking really bad. I'm sure it's broken, my knee is out of whack and I can't even put my foot on the floor."That’s from ADV post. I truly hope he hasn’t hurt himself badly, and can race hard tomorrow.
I think the "broken" knee may just be poor translation..Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
I wonder if the parts canabalised of Cyril’s car to get Peterhansel moving again mean Despres is out. That looked like a lot of damage.Impressive that they managed to do that at the side of a mudhole in the middle of nowhere, in 1hour 40 minutes.

Really worried about my girl Gabriela - she is marked as started but no time on any WP. Really hope it is just tracker issue - so far she was making admirable no drama steady progress, especially for a Dakar noob.

He then helped her with a broken aerial and offered her help in the bivouac tonight, but I see she still hasn't reached any waypoints.
