BARREDA SUFFERS
There are already eight minutes that is being left Barreda regarding the leader. It’s obvious he can’t keep up with the best with his broken toe. He is 12th at 8:27 Sanders. Santolino closes the ‘top 10’ for the moment at 07:08 behind the leader.
SANDERS, BRABEC AND KLEIN, FROM YOU TO YOU
We return to the motorcycles. It barely takes five seconds Sanders, Brabec Y Klein at kilometer 240. The Australian seems to be controlling the pace. Klein, as the leader, is losing almost no time thanks to the bonuses he will receive at the end of the stage for opening the track today.
SAINZ COMMANDS IN THE FIRST WP!
Sainz, the best time at the ‘way point’ at kilometer 47. The Spaniard takes 27:04. 14 seconds better than Al Attiyah at this beginning of the stage.
Go lon moved to 1:15 Al Attiyah. The Dutchman, the big surprise yesterday, seems to have not had his best start. now comes Sainz…
AL ATTIYAH IS ALREADY IN 47!
We already have first times! Al Attiyah passes with 27:18 for kilometer 47 of the special. The first section is full of dunes. We will see Van Loon Y Sainz They come just behind the Qatari…
