Everyone who enters the Dakar is a hero in my eyes. The dude that slept in the dunes though? Legend status.

[@crono331]

On a stock bike even, and in the malle moto. Heroic

[@nicholaseng]

And he was just so happy about it. Amazing

[@BreadOnAStick]

Im quite new to Dakar and its rules, so sorry for not understanding properly. But why did he sleep alone in the dunes? Is it because he didn't make it to a mini-bivouac i time during the 48h chrono stage, so he needed to stop where he was? Thanks in advance!

[@crono331]

@@BreadOnAStick correct, plus not having reached a camping area the clock didnt stop so he got a huge penalty. but to be franc, in my universe, completing a dakar is something epic no matter how long it takes

[@BreadOnAStick]

@@crono331 Absolutely, completing the dakar is awesome still. Could he have continued to the camp site if he wanted to or was there a mandatory rest period even though the clock kept ticking because he had not reached the camp as you said?

That guy getting out of his rally car and handling the enduro bike like he was racing it from the start was the most epic thing I’ve seen in Dakar so far. BAMF right there.

[@SkulduggeryGaunt]

Audi winning by demonstrating strategy and great team play by all involved is really well deserved. Al-Attiyah going into the Chrono with "I don't care about tactics, I just wanna win" and then quitting instead of helping out Loeb expectedly hindered Prodrive's chances, which is extremely harsh on Loeb, who desperately deserves a win after all those close years, and showing us again what he is capable of in the last few stages.

[@sports2hedz542]

Nasser could have been a good teammate and stayed in the race to help Seb as he said he would initially. Lost my respect for Nasser this race. Audi won only because they were a team. Did Peterhansel bail? No. And he was INSTRUMENTAL in Carlos' victory.

[@juaneer]

​@@sports2hedz542you don't understand, Peterhansel and Ekstrom are factory team drivers, they HAVE to help their teammate. Nasser entered as a privateer, financing his own through his Nasser Racing team and the sponsors, guy was there for himself only.

Guy is too fast for his own good, gets too many punctures. .

[@jeroenaerts83]

True, but I think mainly Loeb made a tactical mistake the day before the 2 day marathon stage. I think it's there that he lost it. Today could have been easily avoided with a supporting team mate.

[@tererez]

Suspension also hard on the tyres. ​@@mcspikesky

[@SurroundEdByFreaks]

@@mcspikesky it's mostly down to the bad design of the Prodrive Hunter, as explained in interviews by Loeb and Nasser. Weak points are fragile suspension arms and rear tyres prone to get punctures, because of hot exhaust gases being blown on them

[@kaveeshakarunaratne8961]

Nasser definitely could've helped but the prodrive turd just wasn't quick enough to go up against Audi this year. Sainz was in pace management mode for most of the rally while Loeb was having to push quite hard.

[@juaneer]

Well considering Nasser entered a privateer and was therefore financing his participation himself with his sponsors, he had no obligation to help the one Prodrive factory car.

[@digit975]

I know giving parts from car to car is part of Dakar but there should be a limit because it gives a massive advantage to teams with huge budgets that can afford to run multiple cars just as donors for one car. Goes against the spirit of Dakar and camaraderie IMO

[@crono331]

Agree

[@shianchuu]

3 cars was always normal. Nothing strange here. And Al-Attiyah left anyway so.

[@juliendufour4513]

No team mate to help Loeb, it is hard to believe that Nasser Al-Attiyah left two days before the finish and left Loeb alone. They must not get on well at all...

BF Goodrich better start building better tires, can't be having 4/5 punctures per car. Years before teams ran Toyo, Pirelli, Michelin, BFG. But this year everyone using BFG and everyday teams ran out of tires due to the punctures, and is not only the T1s, even the SxS and the T3 challengers.

[@wiegraf9009]

They can compete, just not under the Russian flag. Which they refuse to do.

[@gregorgombac5302]

Are the tires so strictly regulated, or they have just to wake up and bring tougher tires and suspensions sacrificing car weight a bit?

[@BixenteDelBosque]

with the new big size the wheel are already almost to heavy to change so it's not a very good idea to make the tire even more tough so heavier... the think is with the bigger size it's easier to pass over big rocks and holes so they tend to driver faster everywhere but tires are not magic... with the heavy weight of the car it's the risk to get punctures...

[@gregorgombac5302]

@@BixenteDelBosque I get all of this, but it is NOT ACCEPTABLE to puncture 3 ore 4 times consistently per stage. Somebody made some very wrong decisions somewhere, and don't tell me it the vehicle weight, cause the electric Audi's punctured less than the BRXs

This is really a durability and endurance for both machinery and the human body and spirit. Usually a machine beats the human body but looked like the cars category was more about caring for the fragile car/tire.

[@michaelironsights8347]

True but reilability was very good for toyota and audi, it was just frequent punctures from sharp rocks and thats a tire issue not so much a car issue. Only BRX had frequent issues with suspension and engine. But to be fair it would be a boring race with no punctures so i dont blame the tite makers for not making a stronger tire

[@jamsbong]

@@michaelironsights8347 The tire punctures is partly caused by the heavy-weight of the cars which are 2 tons now. and IMO, the suspension should have been softer to reduce the amount of punctures. Hilux have less punctures in general because they have a softer suspension set up.

[@wiegraf9009]

@@jamsbongYes exactly. This was the problem with Loeb's car. Audi went with a softer suspension this year and it helped.

[@jamsbong]

@@wiegraf9009 Yes, it was a good call from Audi's side. I kept thinking Toyota will win again but I am glad Audi made it this time.
