KTM need to have a contract for him to sign just after the chequered flag no matter what happens.

I don't suppose anyone has found a live feed anywhere that I missed.  TV Bolivia is in a brewery at the moment.

One more sleep?  5 hours liaison plus 4 hours special, then ride to bivvy. He will probably have to ride straight to the start because the start is in reverse order.

It's Joey!

Unfortunately the only way that a rider does not register at an ASS is if he has not arrived there yet.  We need to grab onto another straw while we hope against the odds.

Unfortunately, it cannot be a tracker issue as the riders are updated manually at each CP if they are not tracking.

Upholding an appeal now would completely undermine the ASO and the credibility of the Dakar. They would be admitting that they made a serious error that rendered the final result academic.

The fact of the matter is that the penalty came early on and changed how KTM needed to ride for the win. They did not need to run open taps as Honda have. Why would they They had an hour with which to play. To just take the Honda riders left and subtract an hour to estimate where they would have...

Just in?

No Vinnie is right on track. Yesterday he went from P55 to P25. There are a lot of riders behind him that are pushing to get back their time. He is running at 9min per hour off the leaders having been 14min/hour until now. We were expecting this and are not panicking yet.

#109 Vincent Crosbie starting the day's journey.  From his Media Team.

It will be, hope his injury this early on does not take it's toll. A finish will be heroic.

Joey is home, but any chance of a high finish is over. Our hopes are with the Matswana now.

Hope it is not a Red Mist incident.

I thought I saw a -minus- in front of Vinnie's penalty. That would normally be giving a rider time back for stopping to assist.

Vinnie had a tough day yesterday dislocating his thumb, waiting for ages for medical attention, then rushing his food and roadbook getting to bed late. Today he rode with a gammy thumb and acquitted himself very well. 26th overall and in the FIM 450 class. He will have a much earlier night...

You will recall that Vinnie used Davids 2013 Dakar bike in the Amageza. He is now in Maroc with the same team that David had for Maroc 2014 and is following in his tracks. Last year David started 40th and was 26th overall end of day 1. Vinnie started 39th and is 26th. David went on to 15th in...

Unfortunately Ted did not make it.
