AndyS should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Been enjoying the Dakar this year, but I had hoped Loeb would do it this time round. It does increasingly look like it is Carlos' to lose, which I don't see happening, but you never know.

Much as I love seeing them in the desert, I do miss the South American version. I loved the variety of the terrain and the crowds and enthusiasm was just bonkers. In Saudi it looks like just a few blokes in their Off Roaders turning up. However, I appreciate that the terrain in Saudi is seen as more like a true Dakar. Not complaining either way as it gives me some motorsport to watch at what is otherwise a pretty desolate time of year otherwise.

Crikey its all go in the cars in Stage 10. First Sainz had issues and stopped on stage for 10 mins or so, got going with Loeb ahead on the stage by then and the overall lead of Sainz down to 4 minutes. 10 minutes later and Loeb was stopped on the stage, albeit for just 4 minutes . The gap was back to 11 minutes. That was with some 80 k's to go.

Nailbiting stuff and they should be very close to stage end by now.

Whatever happens the gap from El Matador to Loeb will have shrunk some.

For Gerard..... Sainz conserve son avance mais c'est réduite

Loeb and Sainz have wrapped up the special, with Seb gaining just over 7 minutes on El Matador in the overall.

13'22" is now the gap between the two..... with two stages to go until the end.

As usual I always take an interest in the Mal Moto bike class and this year is proving to be a bit special for TOBIAS EBSTER (96) in his 1st Dakar running overall 19th, a great performance and surely one which will attract sponsors. David Mcbride and Jane Daniels from the UK running 50/52 overall.
Carlos looking very strong with team back up, just how hard will Seb push in the last 2 stages knowing the potential fragility of his car, Nasser sure is grumpy.

For you, Chris, my translation of Seb words: looks like I picked up the wrong day to f**k up! Both Sainz and Loeb suffered after puncture, two worn out impact guns making the wheel nuts difficult to remove! Loeb did "better" his hydo jack refuising to work. What a mess in the desert! They should go back and apologize to the marabout and swear the'll never make pee again on the totem!!

As to Loeb comments about his today's issues, it seems that he asked to his team to fix the jack issues yesterday. Punctures are part fof this race but not being able to change a wheel because of the impact gun (flat battery?) and the jack is hard to swallow.

I've been somewhat surprised too, not so often that a pro driver speaks his truth at least in public. I think he retains some other words to his mechanics and team principal, unlike Nasser. Just hope he wont throw a conrod through the engine block. In fact, he has no choice now, it's flat out till the checq' flag or nothing! Poor Lurquin, he's gonna be shacked…

Can't say better! Two days ago he said he would give help to Loeb in his quest for the win. OK Prodrive are not giving a good idea of what can do and be an official team. Can't imagine what will happen with the same team and drivers when they'll use Dacias. Dreadful to say the least.

Where Sainz goes, could Toyota be an option ? https://www.autosport.com/dakar/news...exit/10565108/

Sainz and Ford have negotiated, says Malcolm Wilson https://www.relevo.com/rallies/dakar...055949-nt.html

Q-Motorsport, they have said they could continue thinking about the (Audi) car after the factory support ended. The same people behind Q-Motorsport (Audi) and X-Raid (Mini).

It's canned for Loeb/Lurquin, a bent wishbone decided that the overall cars win will go to Carlos Sainz and Lucas Cruz.

Thanks Naburu! Did you see what happened to van Beveren (aka a spyder in my helmet, Mum)? May be he had in "mind" to improvise a good desert meal, hitting a camel could have done an acceptable méchoui. Poor Adrien. If you see a camel with a Honda tatoo please give news, send a postcard or ring the family!

The intrepid Coronel twins Tim and Tom continue their Dakar adventures once again running in 24th place overall with a good chance of finishing on 4 wheels this year! Super competitors as usual, I love the personal approach and fan friendly channel. https://www.youtube.com/@tomcoronelracing

So Audi finally manages to win the Dakar.

In T3 Challengers Mitchell Guthrie had several problems so Cristina Gutiérrez wins this class.

Thanks Naburu.

Well done for the whole Audi team, a well deserved win for Carlos Sainz/ Lucas Cruz imo.
Glad to see de Mevius on the podium too.
Kudos to all entrants, finishing or not, was not a piece of cake this year.

flatlandsman has been held in scrutiny for further testing
It is fairly interesting to think I saw a fairly quiet Spaniard wobbling a bit round Britain in a Sierra Cosworth in 1987,m and here he is winning still. What a legend of a man, still to this day hugely underrated in the all the shouting about Loeb, Ogier McRae etc, this is the men who ushered in a new era of demanding what he wanted, testing, professionalism, he is the standard bearer for modern rallying.
