Let's not forget Andrew Short took 5th today and Skyler Howes (a privateer) took 9th in stage 5. GO USA.

In moto oddly enough there is another Brabec (CZE) and even a Brabeck (AUT) still in the race. 

The top 3 are within 1 min 15 sec of each other......top 10 within 15 minutes of each other. This is close racing over long ranges.

She is still IN!!! As the competitor group thins from attrition  she who is Laia Sanz Pla-Giribert , moves up the leader board. Fatigue shows in this photo for sure.

I've been to busy at work to follow the event this year. 

Some highlights are starting to appear...

Price rode for days and won on a broken wrist, WOW. 

The amount of suffering required to even FINISH this race is unbelievable. The candid videos of competitors breaking down mentally, crashing etc, getting back up and trudging onward is inspirational.

 

Pablo was pushing so hard to keep the lead 😥

Dunes intimidate for a reason...
