2012 Dakar Stage 8 Quotes

Quotes from Stage 8 of the 2012 Dakar Rally


Robby Gordon - Finished 2nd

" Nani Roma may have beat me, but it must have been close. Beating Peterhansel by seven minutes makes this a great day. In all honesty, I did not attack too much, except towards the end of the stage. At any rate, I was not at my best in the first 300 kilometres, only in the last 150. I felt the others breathing down my neck, so I accelerated."


Nasser Al Attiyah - Finished 5th

"We had a problem with an engine belt. We repaired it... and shortly after it was the alternator's turn to need a repair. But then we started attacking in earnest. There were six cars in front of us and we overtook all the Minis, as well as De Villiers' Toyota. We did a good job. They are nervous because I overtook all of them, but that is not my problem. I know everything is going smoothly, and we will see how far we can go."

I know I know, "if 'if' was a fifth wed all be drunk", but damn, if they didnt have silly problems, theyd be up on the field by at least an hour.

Maybe thats good, hopefully they wont change the rules for the Hummers next year.

I still think 2 podiums will happen.

IS Nasser drinking Red Bull...???

My guess is that seeing Nasser in a RGM TT would be quite a stretch.

Nasser is a Red Bull athlete,we covered that a month ago.

If RG beat Peterhansel by that large of a margin, then Roma must have been flying

Peterhansel had a flat... That is the main reason for the margin

He is a Red Bull athlete, no Speed Energy on the 300
