@ Sara and Klaus,
Henrard has some major engine troubble. Probably he can not continue.
He was on a good position. ItÂ´s a pity.

Kristina: The image of DeMevius‘ crash I saw is not a photo…it is shown in the video ju jour on dakar.com french version. http://dakar2005.francetv.fr/dakar_lirevideodujour.php3

Kristina: De Mevius is still moving in that photo above, I don’t think that is exactly where he crashed. Earlier I saw some pics of his crash, looks bad. I will try to find it again and post a link.

By the way, there are great daily videos on the dakar.com site if you chose the french version from the home page.

Too bad you are not in California, we could have a Dakar-following party. (I am originally from VA by the way.)

Thanks for the picture. I had no idea that the #321 wreck was so close to where Robby and Dirk were helping Jutta.

Guys, let’s put some pressure on the leaders tomorrow (although the shortened stage won’t help much in that regard)!!!

Klaus: Agreed, the teamwork today was impressive and justified. I do hope that together Robby and Jutta can get out and try to pressure the Mitsus somehow. They are too comfortable out in front now. I wonder if VW is being too conservative trying to protect Jutta’s comfortable third place. Are they just waiting for a couple more stages to make a move? With no pressure from VW there will likely no mistakes from Mitsu. Jutta will have to take this on herself, or send Robby out on a mission to try to mess with them. Chris Nissen’s boss will not be looking for a 3rd place trophy…Nissen is clever as you said. What do you think he has up his sleeve for the Mitsus? Your opinion is most respected here!

Conrats to the team. It only makes sence to work as a team from here on as they are 12hours behind the leader. If everyone in front of him continue normaly they wont advance much and chances of a 1st place are slim. RG made a comment the otehr day that he can’t wait to come back next year. Here in the US here is very underapreciated by the Media. I have seem him drive in Baja and other local desert spots and there is no one even close to his driving skill.

Wow, today’s results are official now, they are in 11th place overall, a 10-place jump today, and a 90-place jump from just three days ago. Amazing. Now that is what I would call very very fast assistance indeed!

Robby & Dirk are doing really well! Go guys, go! Glad to hear Dirk’s cold is getting better too! 🙂

Didn’t Masuoka have an engine failure today? I think that might be the reason for his withdrawal – but we’ll learn about that in about 10minutes I guess 😉

Hallo Helge, stimme Klaus zu, diese Seite macht wirklich SpaÃ.
Du hattest an anderer Stelle erwähnt, wie klasse es ist, wie sich auf diese Art im WWW kleine Communities finden. Bin auch begeistert, es ist einfach immer klasse, sich mit anderen auszutauschen. Und gut zu sehen, dass man nicht die einzige „positiv Bekloppte“ weit und breit ist 😉

So macht auch das Verfolgen und Mitfiebern bei der Dakar viel mehr SpaÃ! Drücke Dirk u. Robby mächtig die Daumen – und meiner Namensvetterin natürlich sowieso 😉
