Heartbreaking to see the Coronels having to withdraw after stage 8, Tim's back injury proved too much in the end, great competitors. GINIEL DE VILLIERS rightfully had the time penalties rescinded putting him back in the top runners. Petrucci continues to make good progress on 2 wheels as does Carlos Checa after his major off last week in the buggy, impressive performance from the first timers. Seb Loeb is certainly giving the Toyotas a challenge at the top, it would only take one incident to change the order with 4 days to go and Seb is bound to be quick on the extended dune stage on the last day. The top runners on the bikes are frighteningly fast to watch on YT, fingers crossed for Sam Sunderland this year.
