00:00An early start for the competitors of Dakar Classic, taking on their first marathon stage
00:10of the rally.
00:13We wake up so early in the morning, that's very well, the weather today is fantastic.
00:20I feel great, it's a bit early, we woke up at the early hours, but that means we'll finish
00:26The goal is to reach the finish, the standings are very important, we still have 10 days.
00:44And so to the action, and a day where all would have to take good care of their vehicles,
00:48with very little assistance authorised in the evening.
00:52A battle between the big vintage trucks and the smaller cars.
01:11In this regularity rally, where being consistent is essential, Juan Morera, winner of the rally
01:17two years ago, is still well in contention.
01:20Fifth, with his wife Lydia.
01:23Frenchman Maxence Dublin finished best rookie last year, in his Land Rover Defender, the
01:2739-year-old is currently fourth overall.
01:31The title holder Carlos Santaolalla is a specialist of regularity rallies, where average speed
01:36is what counts.
01:38He's currently third, and in a good position to defend his title.
01:47But the Spaniard is under the pressure of two Italian crews, starting with Filippo Colnaghi
01:54in his Nissan Patrol.
02:02But the man in command is Lorenzo Draglio, who wants revenge after finishing second last
02:08year.
02:09Alongside his co-driver Rudy Briani, the Italian leads the way with a 48-point advantage over
02:15his team-mate Colnaghi.
