Yes, Sam, Max, Lyndon, Kurt.

Max was 33rd yesterday, awesome result.

SS today cancelled due to biblical weather, and rest day tomorrow. They still have a long liaison though today.

Sam S could win this. Sounds like Goncalves caught him made a navigation error, everyone followed his tracks, except Sam stuck to his roadbook. Good on him!

......"Flippin Ekk", c'mon Dakar Doom Mongers,how can you say this years Dakar isn't up there in respect of the 'old school' African rallies. Coma has rattled a few bones with his RB focus and why not. It'll be good to here a few conclusions later on from the Big Guns on this years event for sure.....
Once again big thanks to you gents for the links, especially the ADVrider one, that has to be the 'finger on the pulse' thread and at times if reading all the posts it was hard to keep up with posting speed..!!
