00:00The marathon bivouac, and a whole host of problems for competitors to work on, without

00:24assistance.

00:26This is Dakar, you know. This is special and I like it a lot.

00:31Now we work a bit on the car.

00:36We get two punctures, we try to fix one. And I hope we can fix it.

00:55We're going to have to start all over again and keep breaking everything.

01:26The sun rises over Al-Ula, and the desert bivouac awakes to the sounds of campfires,

01:31engines, boots and anticipation.

01:44We have to conserve mechanics and tires for this stage of the marathon.

01:47There were a lot of stones during the whole stage.

01:49Today we got ahead, but we lost a bit of time.

01:53Now we're in the second part, so halfway to the end of the marathon stage,

01:57so I hope we have a good stage.

02:10Adrien was proved right, anything really can happen.

02:13The Frenchman led until the penultimate waypoint,

02:15before a speeding penalty took victory away.

02:19The man who took advantage of Van Beveren's mistake was the younger

02:22of Red Bull KTM's Benavides brothers, Luciano.

02:25Without a win last year when he finished 7th, Luce is back.

02:30All in all, for me, I feel I'm still in the fight.

02:35Still many kilometres to do, and we'll see how it goes the second week.

02:39And for a second day in a row, it's third place for Nacho Cornejo,

02:43here who have both of their riders inside the top ten.

02:46I'm very glad to see how everybody has improved their navigation.

02:50Some years ago, you didn't see something like what we did today.

02:55Everybody passing each other, opening piste very fast.

02:58It was really fun, I enjoyed it a lot.

03:00Daniel Sanders took 5.42 in opening bonuses,

03:03before eight minutes of speeding penalties.

03:05But even without them, it wouldn't have been a fifth stage for Chucky.

03:09It was good, the first 250km by myself opening,

03:13and just focusing on my riding, which was fun.

03:16And then just a couple of little mistakes in the fast areas,

03:19so the guys at the back catch real quick.

03:21Other than that, it was a pretty good stage.

03:23Feeling good, not working too hard, so that makes life easy.

03:28Sanders is still sitting pretty overall, but the gaps are getting smaller.

03:31Half an hour between the top five last night, it's less than 20 minutes now.

03:35In fact, the 10th fastest of all the bikers is Spanish revelation Edgar Canet,

03:39who continues his extraordinary run.

03:41He won again in Rally 2 today, to extend his overall lead on Tobias Ebster.

03:47I'm happy because I think it's been a very positive week.

03:50I've had good results, good improvements, I've learned a lot.

03:54And getting here means that we're doing things well.

03:59Ebster won Original by Mottul last year,

04:01where riders compete without any assistance.

04:03With even tougher rules this year, leading at the halfway point, Romanian Emmanuel Genes.

04:11We don't have power, you know, 38 horsepower.

04:14Even they cannot do it, so how can we do it?

04:18But we're going to try.

04:19The Toyota Hilux has 375 horsepower, 10 times as much.

04:23As far as we can, that direction.

04:25Then we're going to reverse on the rocks, so we get traction.

04:30And then we're going to explode.

04:32You've got to love the Dakar, but seriously, what did you expect, boys?

04:35It's a 2CV.

04:37Oh, dear.

04:39The ultimate category, the blue-ribboned event,

04:42and yesterday's winner, Yazeed Al-Raji, kicked things off.

04:51Second overall overnight, seven minutes behind Hank Lattekin.

04:55And he was as solid as a rock today.

04:59Really proper, tough, tough, every day tough, every stage tough,

05:02and long and tough and difficult everywhere.

05:05But was it tough at all, Yazeed? That's what I want to know.

05:08Mathieu Ceridori in his Century CR7 has been performing solidly.

05:12A run of results that reads 6.869 has him seventh.

05:16The Frenchman hasn't won a special in five years.

05:18He'll be hoping to change that in week two.

05:21A very nasty moment for former champion Nani Roma and Simon Witts.

05:26We were there, we'd lost the point.

05:28We went to get it to start again.

05:30We already had the arrow, and when we found it, we hit it.

05:34I had this rock in front of me, I couldn't see it coming.

05:37So that's it, we're waiting for the truck.

05:39It's a shame.

06:08But this year could be different.

06:09Third on the stage, third overall.

06:13We had a very good day.

06:16Driving, I would say, was by far my best day of the rally.

06:23Nasser thought he had taken Dach's first win

06:25until he was slapped with a ten-minute penalty for losing his spare wheel.

06:30We didn't recognize that we'd lose one spare wheel.

06:33Before that, the penalty is ten minutes.

06:36All the job made by Nasser is for nothing.

06:39That handed victory on the day to Seth Quintero by a single second.

06:43Two wins for the young American,

06:45although in neither has he crossed the line quickest.

06:47They all count, though.

06:48More importantly, we have had six stages,

06:50and every single one of them has been won by a Toyota

06:53with five different drivers.

06:55Lattekin on the prologue.

06:56He continues to make the running overall.

06:58Then Quintero, who lies ninth.

07:00Batushka won the Crono.

07:01Valiawa on Tuesday.

07:02Yazeed yesterday, and he's ten minutes behind Hank.

07:05Matthias Ekström is going very steady indeed.

07:11It's a long and difficult stage.

07:13It seems navigation was tricky.

07:15Should I be polite, or can I be rude?

07:19Do what you want.

07:20No, man, it was fucking difficult.

07:23Even if it was, let's say, quite hard

07:25in the first half of yesterday's marathon,

07:27Martin Matsyk absolutely put the hammer down today,

07:29winning for the second day running

07:31and leading the Dakar by almost two hours.

07:33Mitchell van den Brink made the most of issues

07:35for Alice Lopreisch and Vaidota Tzala

07:37to move up to second overall,

07:39but this is surely Matsyk's to lose.

07:49Well, as you guys know,

07:50my first few days of Dakar this year have been pretty rough.

07:54All I can do is take every day the best I can

07:57and make the most out of it

07:58and also try to gain from it

08:00and be a better driver, navigator, and team

08:03and do the best I can to progress in the future.

08:06It's two in a row for Chaleco.

08:08Bikes, T3s, and now T4s.

08:10He's won on them all, Lopez Contardo,

08:12but overall, it's a lost cause

08:14because rookie Brock is top of the tree.

08:16It's his first time here, but he's proved he's ready.

08:18Polar is two of the leading three,

08:20but Brock is best with his wingman, Eddie.

08:22Yassir Seydan won in the challenges today,

08:24and after Yassir's win in the ultimates class,

08:26that's twice the Saudis blew the others away.

08:28Paul Spearings was close, but couldn't get past,

08:30which means Kabil Yassir and Pertagherini

08:33are in command in the overall standing,

08:35unless they disappear in week two like Houdini,

08:37but that looks unlikely as their lead's expanding.

08:41Week one is done.

08:42It's a rest day here tomorrow, and they need it.

08:44Dakar is the rally school of hard knocks.

08:46Just ask Brit biker Robbie Wallace.

08:48Catch you next time, rally fans.

08:59Come on.

09:08I've just had a big crash.

09:10You had a crash?

09:12I think I've been knocked out.

09:14The red button is for rescue.

09:16Well, let's phone first. OK.

09:18PHONE RINGS

09:22Hello, this is rescue team.

09:24I need help. OK, what's the issue?

09:26You're running the toughest race in the world,

09:29and this can happen, like, things...

09:32I know, but it took me so long to get this far.

09:39Heading towards hospital for a CT scan.

09:42So, fingers crossed, we'll be in good shape.

09:47Inshallah.
