Dakar Rally SS2:
Sixth place for Despres after stopping for Peterhansel
Sainz finishes home eighth
After yesterday’s short stage, the second special stage from Pisco to San Juan de Macrona marks the “real” start of the 2019 Dakar. Cyril Despres and Jean-Paul Cottret (both FRA) set the sixth-fastest time in their MINI John Cooper Works Buggy. Spanish pair Carlos Sainz and Lucas Cruz finished eighth. Their French team-mates, Stéphane Peterhansel and David Castera got stuck on the stage and had to settle for 17th place.

Sainz and Cruz started today’s stage in second place, making navigation more of a challenge for them than the subsequent crews. Particularly as they were not able to follow the tracks of the motorcycles today. “We also had issues with the tire pressure system early on,” said Sainz. “Despite that, we were still able to reel in Nasser and then stuck with him.” The Spanish duo currently lies sixth in the overall standings.

Despres and Cottret were tenth going into the stage and managed to work their way up through the field. However, when they then saw their team-mates Peterhansel and Castera in trouble, they showed great team spirit and helped them out. “On the whole, that was a good leg,” said Despres, who is ninth overall. “I am happy with the MINI and the set-up, which we worked on yesterday. You can complete countless test kilometers in Morocco, but the dues here in Peru are simply different. I helped out Stéphane later in the stage, as our team spirit has been a big advantage in the past.”

It was not an easy day for Peterhansel and Castera. “We had a few electrical problems at the start of the stage – nothing serious, but that caused me to lose my concentration a little,” explained Peterhansel. “Later, we got stuck in a stupid place. Fortunately, Cyril pulled us out. We may have lost a bit of time, but without his help we would probably still be stuck there.” The Frenchmen are now 13th overall.

Tomorrow’s stage takes the competitors to Arequipa. In total, 798 kilometers are scheduled, 331 of those against the clock – just slightly fewer than today.
