So, somewhere between Moscow and Beijing, they are still at this.
Eduard Nikolaev’s positively military looking Kamaz.
Reporting and coverage has been a bit patchy, to be honest. But I guess we forget how spoilt we are these days generally.
Anyway, as usual my highly accurate predictions have turned out to be bunk. So much for Peterhansel taking it easy, he binned it in spectacular (and uncharacteristic) fashion he was pushing that hard. Despres is leading, obviously now finding his feet on four wheels. Loeb is keeping a watching brief about 10 mins back. Al Rahji looking dangerous in P3. With them about to head into the dunes, any of the top 4 are in with a shot if you ask me.
A few videos here.
A Dutchman is leading the trucks, but not De Rooy in an Iveco. Van Der Brink in a Renault.
The pressure must be on for Kamaz...

The Aussies brought small utes pick ups, as that what ‘everyone’ drives here these days. Someone running a Toyota LC80, life in the old girl yet!
More Yota joy here.

Maybe he is human after all... Glad you and Jean-Paul are ok, Stephane.
