STAGE 10 TRACKING
STAGE 10: BELEN > LA RIOJA
Connection 485km | Special Stage 278km | Total 763km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Fiambala dunes have become one of the decisive stages of the Dakar. This year, they feature at the heart of the most critical rally sequence, when drivers and their vehicles will have to demonstrate their aptitude for extreme endurance. Moreover, the day’s stage presents the longest dune section in the shared history of the Dakar and Fiambala, off-piste for most of the time. In short, an open door for desert specialists.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Nasser:
"We did a barrell roll after we hit an embankment 10 km into the special, and it took us a while to put the car back upright. We had to take risks today... After that things got tricky because the car was damaged and we had to finish the stage without further problems. At the end of the day, I'm happy to make it to the finish. The ceiling and the cooling system were broken, and we had to stop several times to check whether everything was in order. Despite the adversities, we limited our losses to Giniel and Mikko. We're second overall, and now we have to try and defend this position."

Peterhansel:
"We had a terrible start to the special. We got lost at km 32 and wandered around for at least 15 minutes. I blew a fuse because I thought I'd lost everything. We took risks and threw caution to the wind. We pushed very hard because we knew today was the decisive stage. It was a stage with very tricky navigation, off-track sections, drainage channels... Everything that makes rally raid hard. As usual, this is where you see huge gaps. I had a flat tyre and started screaming my head off, I was a bit out of my mind today. However, when we got going, we were fast. We took a huge leap in the overall. It's also good to know we've got Cyril right behind us to give us a hand. He's helping us out even though he wasn't supposed to do that at the start, it's awesome."

FYI the penalty to the 312 is still there:
I think the team ended the protest after Stage 8

15:59 : Cars: Loeb fifth today
Sébastien Loeb's strong performance was good enough for fifth in today's stage. The man from Alsace lost 17'40' to his teammate Stéphane Peterhansel, and will no doubt regret the 10' lost when he got stuck in the sand. The Frenchman is learning fast, that's for sure.
15:46 : Cars: Nani Roma third in the stage
Nani Roma (Mini) has just finished a stage he started far behind the leaders. A solid performance by the Spaniard, who finished third, 14'33' behind Stéphane Peterhansel.
