Thanks for the update. Will Carlo stop to help or does he have orders to go on?

I would think he would stop to help BJ if he really did roll.

Looks like a lot of folks are rolling...

14:53 - Car

304 - Multiple somersaults for Roma!
After starting the race with the ambition of being as succesful as yesterday, the leader in the general standings Nani Roma (BMW) made a mistake just 2 km after the start of the day’s special stage! The driver somersaulted and ended up in a gulch. Fortunately no one was injured in the car but the team lost almost 15 minutes to getting the car back on the trail and starting again.

15:10 - Car

311 - Terranova like Roma!
Starting 13th of the day’s car special stage, Orlando Terranova (Mitsubishi) was not scared off by the mishaps of Nani Roma (BMW) at km 2 of the day’s stage. Indeed, the Argentine driver did exactly the same somersault 3 km further down the trail... on km 5. Fortunately there was no harm done except for several lost minutes for the local kid who was nevertheless able to get back in the race.

And maybe Robby. He has lost a lot of time somewhere.

Like RG said, the 2 wheel drive has him sliding sideways on stages like this.
He's also siad he's "powered down" to get through yesterday.
I'm waiting for the last 25K of this stage, noted as narrow & winding.
There may well be a few more rollovers there.
Hopefully he won't make any highlight reels like last year...
He & the hummers are much better when they're in the dunes & picking their own path.
