Stage 11 saw Dakar enter Peru for the first time ever. Despres maintains his 2 minute lead with a win as Robbie Gordon’s hopes are dashed losing an hour at the side of the road. As an aside I cannot fathom the decision to give Despres back the 9 minutes + he was stuck in the mud. Makes no sense whatsoever but it puts him back in the race. Strange indeed.
Something for the Soul.
