21:02 Cars: Peter strengthens his grip on the general standings
Even though nothing has been won yet approaching the sixth stage of the Dakar 2013, Stéphane Peterhansel is perhaps in the process of confirming his status as favourite. He now has a lead of 9’54' over Nasser Al-Attiyah. Already 33’50” behind the leader, the Toyota Hilux driven by South African Giniel de Villiers is in third place, but just a little less than four minutes ahead of Leonid Novitskiy and Nani Roma. Between the Russian's and Spaniard's Minis there is a mere 12 second gap after more than 2,000 of the rally!
20:54 Cars: Gordon and Sainz in the Top 5
Robby Gordon has just finished behind the Minis of Nani Roma and Stéphane Peterhansel, 1’41' behind the Spaniard and just 10 seconds ahead of fourth-placed Giniel de Villiers le quatrième. Carlos Sainz finished the day in fifth place, 3’41' behind Roma.
20:29 Cars: Nasser drops back
Al-Attiyah opened the road today and this position does not seem to have smiled on him because he has lost some ground in the general standings. He lost 6 minutes to Nani Roma, but more importantly 4’30' to Stéphane Peterhansel. The day was also not brilliant for Guerlain Chicherit who trailed the stage winner at the finish by 15’25'.
20:24 Cars: Roma is the provisional winner!
The Spaniard should retain his leader’s position on special stage No. 5, completing it in 1:49’40'. Behind him, Stéphane Peterhansel and Giniel de Villiers will probably secure a top 5 finish, but a more conclusive picture of the situation will only be available when Robby Gordon and Carlos Sainz finish in around twenty minutes.
19:48 : Al-Attiyah loses ground at CP1
With 118 km completed, Nani Roma and Stéphane Peterhansel are separated by Giniel de Villiers at the front of the car special stage Nasser Al-Attiyah has now dropped to fourth place less than 60 km from the finishing line. Roma’s time on the special stage so far is 1:20’27'. De Villiers trails him by 1’40', Peterhansel by 1’42' and Al-Attiyah by 2’00'. Guerlain Chicherit, lying more than ten minutes behind Roma, is battling for fifth place with Leonid Novitskiy. A beady eye should be cast on the performances of Robby Unser and Carlos Sainz who started out much later than the leaders but who seem to be in a position to finish in the top 5.
19:28 Cars: Roma on the attack after 70 km
The Spanish driver of Mini No. 305 has just made it past the 70-km point in the lead with a time of 48’26'. He leads Nasser Al-Attiyah by 34', Giniel de Villiers by 58' and Stéphane Peterhansel by 1’10'.
18:50 Cars: Car race leaders after 30 km
Nasser Al-Attiyah still has the upper hand on the first section with a total time of 18’15' over the first 30 kilometres. After him lie Stéphane Peterhansel, 17' behind, Nani Roma, 45' behind, Giniel de Villiers, 1’14' behind, Leonid Novitskiy, 1’20' behind and Guerlain Chicherit, 1’40' behind the current stage leader.
17:55 Cars: Start of the Car/Truck special stage
11.55 AM local time: yesterday’s winner Nasser Al-Attiyah, kicked off proceedings, leading out the 129 cars authorised to start. 172 kilometres separate the drivers from the finishing line on the beach between Playa el Toro and Chusqui. The competitors will then head by road to Arica in Chile.
15:24 : Changes in positions after 20 km
Now that the first 15 competitors on the tracks, behind David Casteu, have completed 20 km, the provisional race order has changed a bit: Kurt Caselli (21' behind) has slipped into second place in front of the excellent Alain Duclos (10th yesterday) 58' behind the stage leader. Joan Barreda Bort is currently fourth in front of Cyril Despres and “Chaleco” (1’01' behind Casteu) and Alessandro Botturi (who trails the leader by 1’02').
14:37 Cars: Al-Attiyah on his way
The winner of yesterday’s stage, Nasser Al-Attiyah (Buggy Qatar Red Bull), will open the road to Arica for the 129 car race competitors authorised to start the fifth stage of the Dakar 2013 this morning. There will be different routes for the Car/Truck and Bike/Quad categories. The cars and trucks are on a 284 km link stage to the start of the 172-km long special stage. The bikes and quads will set off at 8.30 AM local time directly onto the day’s timed section (136-km long) before heading along the link stage (275-km long) to the bivouac at Arica in Chile.
09:30 : Arequipa-Arica: the Dakar 2013 arrives in Chile
A border crossing at the end of the stage and two distinct routes for the Car/Truck and Bike/Quad categories are the highlights of the fifth stage. If truth be told, for the competitors, they will have their minds elsewhere, because the landscapes that the stage will cross will change radically. The seemingly endless dunes will be followed by rocky tracks and river beds, from valley to valley. The stage starts directly with the special (136-km long) for the bikes and the quads, whereas the cars and trucks will deal with a link stage of 284 kilometres before a 172-km long timed section. At the end of the stage, all the competitors will already have covered more than two thousand kilometres since the start of the Dakar 2013. The mishaps suffered by De Rooy’s Iveco on Tuesday showed that the rally does not spare anyone, not even favourites or leaders. And if Stéphane Peterhansel leading the car category, or the French trio of Pain, Casteu and Despres lose concentration for just a short while, the consequences can be immediate and drastic. Beware…
19:48 : Al-Attiyah loses ground at CP1
With 118 km completed, Nani Roma and Stéphane Peterhansel are separated by Giniel de Villiers at the front of the car special stage Nasser Al-Attiyah has now dropped to fourth place less than 60 km from the finishing line. Roma’s time on the special stage so far is 1:20’27'. De Villiers trails him by 1’40', Peterhansel by 1’42' and Al-Attiyah by 2’00'. Guerlain Chicherit, lying more than ten minutes behind Roma, is battling for fifth place with Leonid Novitskiy. A beady eye should be cast on the performances of Robby Unser and Carlos Sainz who started out much later than the leaders but who seem to be in a position to finish in the top 5.
19:20 Bikes: Pain still leads the general standings
Young French rider Olivier Pain (Yamaha) remains on top of the bike general standings on completion of the fifth stage. 1’15' behind him, David Casteu (Yamaha) also retains his place, as does Cyril Despres (KTM), 6’07' behind Pain. In fourth place, Ruben Faria (KTM) trails the leader by 13’34', two seconds ahead of Jordi Viladoms (Husqvarna), 13’36' behind and Francisco “Chaleco” Lopez (KTM), 13’39' behind, with these three riders virtually in touching distance of each other Alessandro Botturi (Husqvarna) trails Pain by 14’00' and Kuba Przygonski (KTM) as well as Stefan Svitko (KTM) are still within reach. All in all, the bike standings are very compact: there are 25 riders within an hour of the rally leader.
17:11 Bikes: Provisional result: Casteu wins, Pain 2nd, Botturi 3rd
Now that the first 15 riders have finished, David Casteu’s first place has been confirmed, 1’09' ahead of fellow Frenchman Olivier Pain and 3’25' in front of Alessandro Botturi. Cyril Despres finished in fourth place, 4’07’’ behind his countryman, whilst Helder Rodrigues is fifth 4’52' behind the stage winner and Alain Duclos sixth, 5’01' behind Casteu.
16:45 Bikes: Casteu provisionally wins the stage
David Casteu, who led the special stage from start to finish, has confirmed his domination at the finisihing line with a total time of 1:39’42', which should make him the day’s winner. Behind him, the situation is less clear, because the riders who set off after twentieth place have ridden like the wind: Svitko, Pedrero Garcia, Israel Esquerre, Caselli and Jakes are awaited at the finishing line to confirm their impressive positions. For the moment Olivier Pain, Alessandro Botturi and Helder Rodrigues make up the rest of the top four, but the situation is likely to change.
16:03 Bikes: Fuel pump problem for Barreda Bort
Still stuck at the 72-km point since half an hour ago, Joan Barreda Bort looks like he has fuel pump problems.
16:01 Bikes: Svitko and Pedrero Garcia butt in
The two bikers have just moved in between David Casteu (37' ahead of them) and Alessandro Botturi (1’05' behind the stage leader), into second and third place as a result.
15:54 Bikes: Changes among the leaders half-way through
Behind David Casteu, Alessandro Botturi now occupies second place, trailing the French rider by 1’16'. Cyril Despres has cropped up in fourth place, 1’47' behind his countryman. Duclos, Przygonski and Gouet have also sneaked into the top 10, who are all within a differential of four minutes.
15:48 Bikes: Barreda Bort at a standstill after 72 km
Joan Barreda Bort’s GPS signal indicates that he has been at a standstill for five minutes for a currently unknown reason. The rider has not set off an alert, so it is likely that he is experiencing technical problems.
15:41 Bikes: Casteu still leads half way through the special
With a time of 49’25', France’s David Casteu still leads the provisional standings on the special stage at the half-way point. He leads his countryman Olivier Pain by 1’34', Helder Rodrigues by 2’14', Ruben Faria by 3’45', Gérard Farres Guell by 3’47' and Joan Barreda Bort by 6’13'. Only these six competitors have so far completed 67 km of the stage.
15:33 Bikes: Barraeda Bort goes astray?
After 53 km, Joan Barreda Bort took a route too far to the north before returning to the main tracks, a slight mistake that only lasted for a half dozen kilometres, enabling him to abandon the duties of opening the road, which is now the responsibility of David Casteu and Olivier Pain Could it be a part of a tactical plan?
15:24 : Changes in positions after 20 km
Now that the first 15 competitors on the tracks, behind David Casteu, have completed 20 km, the provisional race order has changed a bit: Kurt Caselli (21' behind) has slipped into second place in front of the excellent Alain Duclos (10th yesterday) 58' behind the stage leader. Joan Barreda Bort is currently fourth in front of Cyril Despres and “Chaleco” (1’01' behind Casteu) and Alessandro Botturi (who trails the leader by 1’02').
15:17 Bikes: Gonçalves and others lose their way…
Portuguese rider Paulo Gonçalves, who started the special stage in 17th position, stopped a little after the 6-km point, slightly away from the main tracks before setting off again. It seems that he took the wrong direction. Behind him, Pal Ullevalseter, James West and others have made the same mistake.
15:08 Bikes: The race at a glance after 20 km
The first indicators after 20 km show that 5 competitors have completed this distance: France’s David Casteu leads with a time of 18’17’’, Joan Barreda Bort follows 59' behind, Helder Rodrigues is a further 1’04' behind, French rider Olivier Pain trails his countryman by 1’25' and Gérard Farres Guell lies 1’59' behind the stage leader.
14:48 Bikes: “First bike on the special stage”
This is the announcement that has just crackled over the waves of Radio Dakar. Joan Barreda Bort, yesterday’s winner, set off at 8.30 AM local time heading towards Cachendo where the special stage finishing line is located.
09:30 : Arequipa-Arica: the Dakar 2013 arrives in Chile
A border crossing at the end of the stage and two distinct routes for the Car/Truck and Bike/Quad categories are the highlights of the fifth stage. If truth be told, for the competitors, they will have their minds elsewhere, because the landscapes that the stage will cross will change radically. The seemingly endless dunes will be followed by rocky tracks and river beds, from valley to valley. The stage starts directly with the special (136-km long) for the bikes and the quads, whereas the cars and trucks will deal with a link stage of 284 kilometres before a 172-km long timed section. At the end of the stage, all the competitors will already have covered more than two thousand kilometres since the start of the Dakar 2013. The mishaps suffered by De Rooy’s Iveco on Tuesday showed that the rally does not spare anyone, not even favourites or leaders. And if Stéphane Peterhansel leading the car category, or the French trio of Pain, Casteu and Despres lose concentration for just a short while, the consequences can be immediate and drastic. Beware…

With 118 km completed, Nani Roma and Stéphane Peterhansel are separated by Giniel de Villiers at the front of the car special stage Nasser Al-Attiyah has now dropped to fourth place less than 60 km from the finishing line. Roma’s time on the special stage so far is 1:20’27'. De Villiers trails him by 1’40', Peterhansel by 1’42' and Al-Attiyah by 2’00'. Guerlain Chicherit, lying more than ten minutes behind Roma, is battling for fifth place with Leonid Novitskiy. A beady eye should be cast on the performances of Robby Unser and Carlos Sainz who started out much later than the leaders but who seem to be in a position to finish in the top 5.
19:25 Quads: Huge gap for Patronelli in the general standings
Thanks to the misfortunes of Sebastian Husseini, Marcos Patronelli can breathe easier this eveining. He now boasts a lead of 1:18'32' over the new second placed rider, Ignacio Casale. 1:20’45' behind the leader, Lukas Laskawiec still remains on the virutal podium. Rafal Sonik lies in fourth, whilst Sarel Van Biljon and Laurent Duverney-Pret round off the leading positions in the standings. However, a huge gap of more than two hours separates first from sixth.
18:00 Quads: Patronelli wins again
Marcos Patronelli has grabbed another special stage victory by beating Poland’s Lukas Laskawiec by 3’00’’. Ignacio Casale finished in third place on the day’s stage 14’14' behind the winner. The problems encountered by Sebastian Husseini on the special stage have will do no good for his place in the general standings. He has still not yet finished the special.
17:19 Quads: Lucas Bonetto in trouble
Just after registering third place at the half-way point, Lucas Bonetto suffered technical difficulties, bringing him to a halt after 77 km. The Honda rider has been attempting to repair the problem for the last twenty minutes.
16:54 Quads: Patronelli in charge at the midway point
Marcos Patronelli is still in command in the quad category. The Argentinean rider currently leads Lukas Laskawiec by 2’27' and Lucas Bonetto by 7’40'. Ignacio Casale is in fourth place 12’13' behind the leader.
16:48 Quads: Husseini loses time after 32 km
Emirati rider Sebastian Husseini, second in the general standings, lost almost half an hour in the first third of the special stage, just after the first check-point, where he occupied second place on the stage. He has now re-joined the race.
16:19 Quads: Patronelli leads after 20 km
Marcos Patronelli leads the quad race after 20 km with a time of 21’28' ahead of Lukas Laskawiec (by 29'), Sebastian Husseini (by 2’14'), Ignacio Casale (by 2’20') and Laurent Duvernet-Pret (by 2’26'). The first 10 competitors have reached the 20-km point.
15:24 : Changes in positions after 20 km
Now that the first 15 competitors on the tracks, behind David Casteu, have completed 20 km, the provisional race order has changed a bit: Kurt Caselli (21' behind) has slipped into second place in front of the excellent Alain Duclos (10th yesterday) 58' behind the stage leader. Joan Barreda Bort is currently fourth in front of Cyril Despres and “Chaleco” (1’01' behind Casteu) and Alessandro Botturi (who trails the leader by 1’02').

23:48 Trucks: De Rooy king of the general standings again
The absence of Gerard de Rooy (Iveco) from the top of the truck general standings did not last long. He has got back to business after today’s third place finish. He leads the Kamaz driven by Eduard Nikolaev by 5’33' and that of Ayrat Mardeev by 17’06”. Czech driver Martin Kolomy (Tatra) occupies fourth place 31’18' behind the leader, whilst Hans Stacey (Iveco) returns to the top five 50’20' behind his team leader. Ales Loprais, still currently stuck on the special stage, is in the processe of tumbling down the standings.
23:11 Trucks: Loprais at a standstill
Just before the 162-km point, with the finishing line in sight, Ales Loprais’ GPS is signalling that he has been at a standstill for several minutes. Slightly off the track, the Czech driver has not signalled any technical problems so may be stuck in the sand… As a result, he will lose first place in the truck category general standings.
23:05 Trucks: Hans Stacey dominates the Kamaz
After his misfortunes two days ago, Hans Stacey (Iveco) has made up for it today by winning the special stage with a time of 2:07’34' in front of Eduard Nikolaev’s Kamaz (1’53' behind). Also fighting back, the Iveco Petronas team leader, Gerard De Rooy (2’32' behind Stacey) has grabbed third place in front of two other Kamaz trucks driven by Ayrat Mardeev (2’34' behind the winner) and Andrey Karginov (3’05 behind). The first Tatra belongs to Czech driver Martin Kolomy, in fifth place, 3’54' behind the stage leader.
22:42 Trucks: Stacey leads after 118 km
With a time of 1:33’54' Hans Stacey is the quickest driver so far over the first two thirds of the special stage. 1’25' behind him, Ayrat Mardeev is maintaining the suspense, and he is not alone: Gerard De Rooy only trails his team-mate by 1’54'. Eduard Nikolaev is fourth, 2’19' behind Stacey, whilst Martin Kolomy lies in fifth, 2’55' behind the stage leader.
21:53 Trucks: De Rooy, Stacey and Mardeev neck and neck!
After 70 km of the truck special stage, Gerard De Rooy has shown he is not giving up in spite of his misfortunes yesterday. He is battling with his team-mate Hans Stacey and the Kamas driven by Ayrat Mardeev. Around two minutes separate the three men. A clearer picture of the struggle should be available at the check-point after 118 km.
20:56 Trucks: The trucks are heading for Chile!
On the same route as the cars, a dozen minutes ago, the trucks started to enter the timed section. Ayrat Mardeev behind the wheel of his Kamaz will be leading the trucks out, in front of his team-mate Andrei Karginov and the Iveco driven by Hans Stacey.
20:52 Trucks: The trucks are heading for Chile!
On the same route as the cars, a dozen minutes ago, the trucks started to enter the timed section. Ayrat Mardeev behind the wheel of his Kamaz will be leading the trucks out, in front of his team-mate Andrei Karginov and the Iveco driven by Hans Stacey.
19:48 : Al-Attiyah loses ground at CP1
With 118 km completed, Nani Roma and Stéphane Peterhansel are separated by Giniel de Villiers at the front of the car special stage Nasser Al-Attiyah has now dropped to fourth place less than 60 km from the finishing line. Roma’s time on the special stage so far is 1:20’27'. De Villiers trails him by 1’40', Peterhansel by 1’42' and Al-Attiyah by 2’00'. Guerlain Chicherit, lying more than ten minutes behind Roma, is battling for fifth place with Leonid Novitskiy. A beady eye should be cast on the performances of Robby Unser and Carlos Sainz who started out much later than the leaders but who seem to be in a position to finish in the top 5.
15:24 : Changes in positions after 20 km
Now that the first 15 competitors on the tracks, behind David Casteu, have completed 20 km, the provisional race order has changed a bit: Kurt Caselli (21' behind) has slipped into second place in front of the excellent Alain Duclos (10th yesterday) 58' behind the stage leader. Joan Barreda Bort is currently fourth in front of Cyril Despres and “Chaleco” (1’01' behind Casteu) and Alessandro Botturi (who trails the leader by 1’02').
