STAGE 8 TRACKING
STAGE 8: SALTA > SAN MIGUEL DE TUCAMAN
Connection 379km | Special Stage 470km | Total 849km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Tucuman route will be divided into two timed sections with a variety of scenery. With hoodoos, canyons and cacti, the competitors will discover the red and green backdrop of Argentina’s most beautiful natural landscape, which will unfold for more than 150 km creating a Western atmosphere. During the second half of the timed section, which will take place in a region completely unknown to the Dakar, the contrast will be apparent on the sandy and sometimes tricky tracks. It may also be manifested through the weather conditions, if the wind is combined with the high temperatures which ravage the region. The rest day will rarely have been more deserved, in particular for the motorcyclists who will finish their marathon stage..

that's a joke. the rest should have the same time as the last guy to reach the finish, Wevers #325, at 32 minutes back. They are robbing Roma, Coffaro, Chabot, and Wevers, who could have moved up the standings.

After the decision of the Board of Commissioners of the race car after neutralization of the special stage 8, all cars have not crossed the finish line before 4:24 p.m. are given time by Stéphane Peterhansel is 2h07'21''. Therefore Chicherit won his first special on the Dakar 2013, 4'02'' ahead of Orlando Terranova and 5'17'' on Robby Gordon. Nasser Al Attiyah and Giniel De Villiers, both prosecutors Peterhansel therefore remain unchanged gap with the leader of the general classification: 3'14'' for the Qatari driver, always second, and 44'03'' for Giniel De Villiers , 3rd.

I dunno. Me thinks that you run what the conditons are. If they get worse for the back markers - tough ti##ies. That's what you get for being a back market. But with any socialist organization - they want to make sure life is fair. It ain't.
Rant over. Wish Robby was shown in better spirits. As he has said - second is the first looser. He won't win - but he can still put on the best "looser" performance.

So, we have a picture of Nasser stuck in a rut. It's pretty clear he is stuck because the doors are open. If he was bouncing through the rut, I'd assume the doors would be closed. But he and co-dog are not out of the car, so he is not stuck to the point of waiting for a tow, or stuck and digging.
