00:00The

00:29Thursday morning fog was so thick that the helicopters, essential for rider safety, were

00:33unable to fly, so everyone just waited, for hours, until the sky cleared.

00:37Everyone's sitting here for a long time in the sun now, we've already eaten our food

00:41from the break, our water's already down, so yeah, we'll see.

00:50What is the problem?

00:51We want everybody to stop at the refueling.

00:54Just one thing, if there is fog, it's true it's bad, because we don't see, but if we

00:58have no fog, let's go.

01:00I think the smart thing is to stop, I don't care, I have a good gap, I'm not worried.

01:04Hopefully they too want to continue to the stage, because they are battling for the second

01:09or third place.

01:10All the riders want to stop, I'm fifth, I should not sit.

01:13For me it's possible to go at the finish, not for the Rallye 2, it's different, but

01:17for the Rallye GP, I don't understand the problem.

01:19You always talk about safety, then why don't you just stop at the refueling?

01:23Daniel, what do you think about this decision?

01:31Let's see, it might change again.

01:33For everybody, you stop at the neutralization now, ok?

01:36Have a good day, enjoy!

01:39You can't rely on one day to get the result, it's a 12-day race, you have 12 days to do

01:48good.

01:49You want to know what's happened?

01:50You're just scared.

01:51This is what's happened.

01:52You maybe know.

01:55He's got a good point.

01:56If you're on stage 11, you're worried about your result, you should have been worried

01:59about it halfway through the stage.

02:01It's funny though, to see everyone's emotions going crazy on one of the last stages of the

02:06Dakar.

02:07Golly, handbags at dawn in the desert, but an uneasy Entente Cordiale meant that Michael

02:11Doherty eventually set off to start the special at 10.30, three and a half hours late.

02:16Adrien Van Beveren was angry, and he took it out on the course, but a misjudgment cresting

02:20a dune left him with a damaged exhaust, and that error cost him the stage by 57 seconds.

02:25It also effectively removed any chance he has of catching Tosca Serena in second overall.

02:40Luciano was also looking to move up a step, a seven-minute gap to VBA in third and a small

02:45chance to snatch a podium place, but it wasn't to be for the Sunset Strip 77.

02:51It's been a short stage on the dunes, I thought it was going to be longer and have the second

02:57half to take advantage of the physical and do the whole stage, but well, they've cut it,

03:03so I hope that tomorrow we can close a Dakar in the best way.

03:07The special belonged to Tosca Serena, Honda's third.

03:11Despite some trouble in the soft dunes, the Spaniard found some wadis to help him weave

03:15his way to a 33-second win over Benavides.

03:21I've tried to push so I don't waste time.

03:25Tomorrow I'll try to go a bit more relaxed.

03:27I knew it was going to be very difficult for Daniel to recover that time, but well, I've

03:31pushed hard until the end.

03:33There were soft dunes, there wasn't much visibility, but well, I'm happy to be here

03:36in the final stretch.

03:38Including Rally 2 riders, there are more KTMs in the top ten than Hondas.

03:42Who would have predicted that two weeks ago?

03:44Sanders comfortable and on course for a first overall title.

03:48Edgar Canett still leads Tobias Ebster by 35 minutes in Rally 2,

03:52but there is late drama in original Baimotul.

03:55Emmanuel Genes has led the class for practically the entire rally,

03:59but today, Benji Melo took over at the top.

04:01The gap, after 57 and a half hours of racing, exactly one minute wows us.

04:14Empty quarter.

04:18I'm excited to get in the dunes and see where we're at.

04:22Very difficult, very hard.

04:25You can stuck, you can roll.

04:28It can change a lot of things.

04:32The best way to learn is to go there and try.

04:35Empty quarter for us is easy.

04:39He say easy, you know, we'll see.

04:43It's just survival to the end.

04:47We have a good start position.

04:50When you start in the back, you can do very good in the front.

04:54It's good, we're in the lead.

04:58It will change everything for the day.

05:00We're going to win the special.

05:03The Rub' al Khali is the largest contiguous sand desert in the world.

05:06In the empty quarter, you can feel very, very alone in this sea of sand.

05:10Lucas Moraes, still in the lead.

05:12In the empty quarter, you can feel very, very alone in this sea of sand.

05:16Lucas Moraes, second yesterday and winner of stage 7, but way down today.

05:20But you don't have to be alone.

05:22Seth Quintero and Sayud Varyawa buddied up for a while.

05:26Rokas Pashuska enjoyed the playground to post a 6th top 10,

05:30despite being chased down by Marcelo Gastaldi.

05:36He finished 19th on the day, but did bring us this spectacular helicopter shot.

05:43Mathieu Ceradori has been inconsistent and unpredictable this Dakar,

05:47which is a red flag for me.

05:49Four-wheel drive is something else.

05:51You can push, you're more efficient.

05:53By the way, the red flags are so the cars can be seen in the dunes,

05:56not because they're remote-controlled.

05:58Henk Latterken started stage 11 with a 2.5-minute advantage overall.

06:02To be honest, there's not much more we could have done today.

06:05I'm definitely not the sand and the dune expert.

06:09The man who trailed again overnight was Yazid Al-Raji,

06:12third on the day, enough to leapfrog the South African.

06:15This is some see-saw struggle in the ultimates.

06:17The result is simple. You are leading now, again,

06:20the Dakar 25 by six minutes to Latterken.

06:24It's good. Timo did a great job, and me. Everything is going well.

06:28What of Nasser Al-Attiyah?

06:30Could the Qatari king get himself back in contention?

06:32Two flat tires cost him the stage, and anyway,

06:36It's really nice to have the new car,

06:39and it's fighting for the podium.

06:43We are so happy we have a good performance,

06:46but always a new car needs time.

06:49Out in front, and the stars of today, Matthias Ekström and Emil Bergqvist.

06:53They dealt with the desert expertly, as if they'd grown up in the desert.

06:57They're not afraid of the desert.

06:59They're not afraid of the desert.

07:02I was pushing everything I could.

07:04I have nothing left to do, so I did my best.

07:11Al-Attiyah, Ekström, Latterken, Al-Raji.

07:14It's coming down to the wire.

07:16The truth is, probably it's Henk or Yazeed.

07:18There are six cars in the race.

07:20It's going to be a close race.

07:22It's going to be a close race.

07:24It's going to be a close race.

07:26It's going to be a close race.

07:28The truth is, probably it's Henk or Yazeed.

07:30There are 62 kilometres to decide the destination of Dakar 47.

07:47I think we have to try. We can't give up like this.

07:49We don't care about the podium. It's over.

07:52We're not going to get out of the car.

07:55It's up to you. It's what you want.

07:57It's bullshit. I'm sure of it.

07:59The angel and the devil.

08:25But with a two-hour lead, Brock Hager has this sewn up,

08:28barring a final stage disaster or an alien invasion.

08:32More Saudi celebrations on the penultimate day

08:34as Yassir Saidan notched a third win of this edition in Challengers.

08:37But the Cavigliassos have this sewn up,

08:40barring a final stage disaster or an alien invasion.

08:47Disaster today for Martin Schultes

08:49as he lost fourth place overall in the trucks.

08:52These dunes can be treacherous,

08:54but Martin Matzik sailed over them for his fifth win of the rally.

08:57It's now two hours 25 between the leaders and Mitchell van den Brink,

09:01so the Czechs have this sewn up,

09:03you know, barring a final stage disaster or an alien invasion.

09:12What breaks as soon as you say its name out loud?

09:15Silence.

09:16Silence is golden, as is the sand,

09:18and when the roar of the engines stop,

09:20the silence will soon return to the empty quarter.

09:23But one special remains.

09:28One more day for Sanders to hold on,

09:30one minute in original Baimotul,

09:32one new name will be written on the Ultimates trophy,

09:35and just one more highlight show left tomorrow.

09:37And I'll be here one more time,

09:39so make sure you are rally fans.
