00:00Can you hear me?

00:10Hold on!

00:18Where are we going?

00:30Ah, I think close to the fire, no?

00:33I don't want to be by the fire because then it'll be noisy.

00:38Okay, I need a tent.

00:39I don't know how to put a tent together.

00:41No idea what's going on.

00:43What the...

00:47There's more?

00:48I can open a Dakar stage but I can't build a tent.

00:51There's a hook.

00:52How come every time you take a breath, half the air comes back out?

00:55Breathe through your nose, buddy.

01:25...outside world.

01:28Proves that even in these days of professionalism and technology,

01:31there is still space, there is still time,

01:34for all of us to dream, to dare, to live.

01:38Sneaking under the stars and...

01:40Ooh, it's cool.

01:42Just a different experience, part of the adventure,

01:44but ready to get back to the blue act tonight.

01:49Cold night.

01:51Not so comfortable.

01:55It was fun to hang out around the campfire with all the guys

01:59and fun chrono stage.

02:01Long, demanding, but good time.

02:0422 riders reached Bivouac E last night,

02:06meaning they'd gone a staggering 626km

02:10and been in the saddle for around eight hours.

02:12For those guys, 321km of the special remained

02:15before they could relax, unwind, shower, rest and recover.

02:22They left the brake zone in the same order as they arrived,

02:25meaning Tosha Sharina led out,

02:27and while he was soon overtaken by Adrien Van Beveren,

02:30he got ahead again when VBA had problems in the dunes.

02:35The Frenchman was still fourth on the stage.

02:41It was tricky. To be fair, the dunes were really soft

02:44and it was not easy to open.

02:46I opened, I think, most of the stage,

02:49but the result doesn't show it, you know.

02:53Tosha finished third, but how's our friend Skyler getting on?

02:56The Utah cowboy had a great stage two rodeo,

02:59galloping home second fastest.

03:02Man, I'm pretty smoked.

03:04The terrain was really, really difficult.

03:06These dunes were extremely soft and the camel grass was crazy.

03:10Lots of rocks and then high speed.

03:12I mean, it had just about everything that you could throw at us.

03:15I enjoyed the format of the chrono stage,

03:17but I'm tired.

03:19Daniel Sanders continued his 100% record at Dakar 47

03:23with the first three in a row since Joan Barrera in 2017.

03:27Riding together was pretty funny, I think.

03:29At one point, we all got stuck on a soft dune and looked across.

03:32There was about 15 of us just stuck in the dunes, so it was pretty funny.

03:36If everything's going perfectly for Sanders,

03:38the same can't be said for double Dakar champion Kevin Benavidez,

03:41who's returning from a serious injury.

03:44I started more or less in front,

03:47and then the top riders started to pass me.

03:50And, you know, that is really hard, because I know how to do it.

03:54I know the speed, because always I was there fighting and everything.

03:58And to feel that right now I can't,

04:01it's also really, like...

04:03For the mind, you know, it's, like, heavy.

04:06Haus and Branch are 12 minutes behind Sanders,

04:0812 seconds between second and fourth,

04:10and number 12, Bradley Cox, was 12th fastest.

04:12That's four 12s, which makes 48.

04:14Crow, no way!

04:16The hardest two days I've ever had on a motorcycle.

04:18It was a long, long two days.

04:20No such domination in Rally 2.

04:22We've had a different winner on each stage.

04:24Today, top spot went to Michael Doherty,

04:26ten minutes quicker than Edgar Canett,

04:28and 17 minutes up on Jacob Argebrite.

04:30Canett leads overall now,

04:32and it looks like a fight between him, Doherty and Tobias Ebster.

04:36The top four are all KTMs.

04:39Like the bikes, the top cars also made it to Bivouac-E last night,

04:4327 of them.

04:47Ready for the second part of the marathon.

04:50Let's pack it and let's go.

04:56We have, like, 300 kilometres left.

04:59Everyone is in a one-minute interval,

05:01so we're going to do it in one minute.

05:05Everyone is in a one-minute interval,

05:07so I guess we just have to bring it to the end.

05:12I'm trying to keep my car in good shape.

05:14I like my new baby.

05:17Carlos had plenty of problems yesterday.

05:22Today's first victims of this challenging surface,

05:25Gerland Tschischeritz and Alex Winok.

05:28We hit one car that was, I don't know, wrong place,

05:33in the dust that we didn't see,

05:35and it damaged quite a lot the car in the front.

05:39Dust, competitors, rocks and bushes

05:41weren't the only difficulties on the way back to Bischer.

05:44It was circle time in the desert,

05:46as the cars struggled to find their way home.

05:49After that big roll yesterday,

05:51today was a day of survival for defending champion Carlos Sainz,

05:54and he only lost a few minutes on stage 2B.

05:57But the damage was done yesterday to both his car and scratch time.

06:00It means El Matador is an hour and a half off the lead.

06:05Today's spectacular smash-up award goes to former champion Nani Roma.

06:08This looks just like me getting stuck

06:10halfway through building an IKEA wardrobe,

06:12having lost the instructions.

06:16So who did come out of this two-day dune-fest unscathed?

06:19Well, Nasser Al-Attiyah was in the fight,

06:21and he's loving his Dacia.

06:23Remember, he already won the Rallye du Maroc in it

06:25at the end of last year.

06:29Last 50 km, we had a puncture,

06:31and then we had an issue with the power steering.

06:35It was very difficult to finish.

06:39Seth Quintero had been concerned

06:41that winning his first special would harm his chances in the second,

06:44and he was right.

06:4516th for the young American, 49 minutes back.

06:49Sayoud Varyawa had impressed on stage 1,

06:51but today he collided with teammate Genel De Villiers.

06:55Now both cars are broken.

06:58And, you know, we're just trying to see what we can do,

07:01but for the moment it looks quite bad.

07:03Quite bad? I'm pretty sure the insurance company

07:06will use a different phrase, Ginni.

07:08Best performance on stage 2A, homeboy Yazeed Al-Raji,

07:11and he carried on where he left off in his backyard,

07:13enjoying himself, but had to settle for second.

07:16And that's because Rokas Pachuska,

07:18in his first year driving an Ultimate,

07:20snatched a first win, recovering time after an issue at refueling.

07:25It's now official that we won the stage, you know,

07:28first time in the Ultimate class,

07:30and to win the 48th promo, it's a big challenge.

07:34Henk Latterken leads overall,

07:36almost five minutes ahead of Al-Raji.

07:38Sebastian Loeb recovered 25 minutes today.

07:45Nicolas Cavigliasso dominated in the T3s

07:47on the first half of this special,

07:49having won stage 1.

07:50But if he thought he was going to have everything his own way,

07:53he was wrong.

07:54The Argentine did finish fastest,

07:56but a three-minute penalty handed victory

07:58to Dutchman Paul Speerings by two seconds.

08:08Right to 235.

08:13Nice.

08:14Left.

08:16Spaniard Pau Navarro is less than half an hour

08:19off the lead in the standings.

08:27Rookie Corbin Leverton is in the top three,

08:30but Cavigliasso retains the overall lead.

08:35Brock Hegger took the Krono in the SSVs,

08:37a second win for the rookie who had already won the prologue.

08:40His gap to defending champ Xavier de Soultre

08:42was seven and a half minutes,

08:43but the Frenchman leads overall.

08:46There's a big gap back to third.

08:49Martin Maciek won the Krono for the second year running,

08:52but if you thought it was easy for the trucks, think again.

08:56We got stuck three times.

08:58We couldn't climb the dunes because it was so soft,

09:01and we had to take care of the truck

09:03because I destroyed the suspension and spring as well.

09:08So, yeah, lots of stuff, man, lots of stuff.

09:10He leads compatriot Lopreich by just under nine minutes.

09:16After problems for the reigning champion in the cars,

09:19the rain itself is looking threatening.

09:21Forecast storms plus the extreme difficulties

09:23for everyone over the past few days

09:25have led the organisers to reduce the third special

09:28from 4.96 to 3.27.

09:30It should be a super-fast fifth day of competition.

09:32And I'll be back tomorrow.

09:34Why don't we meet here again after the stage?

09:36I'll buy you a coffee.

09:40See you tomorrow.
