Dakar 2010 Stage 3: Don spends the day stuck in the dunes
Don is back at the Bivouac, after another difficult day.
In the first sector of the Rally, Don began having engine problems. I have seen numerous mentions of fuel problems today, and Don was unfortunately one rider who was affected. Riding in the dunes requires speed and momentum to carry the bike and rider to the top of each dune, and even a hiccup out of the motor can sap that momentum and leave the rider stuck and turning the bike around to retreat down the dune and far enough back to take another run at it.
Dave will likely be bringing us another update later this evening, and I will post an update here as soon as more information becomes available.
