00:00Yeah, I mean every time you think it's going to be a simple day, it's the hardest one.
00:14Yeah, it was very tricky for navigation and yeah, it was definitely a day to forget and
00:22at least we learned a lot and we hope we can push tomorrow.
00:31I think everyone really struggled with the navigation and also we had a puncture, so
00:38to add to the hectic day, I guess it's part of the Dakar.
00:50Yeah, the impact was huge, we rolled just over 500 metres, nose over back, 6th gear.
00:59Anyway, Dennis and I walked away unharmed, it just shows you how strong and good the
01:04cars are, but yeah, that was huge, that was a big accident.
01:08Yeah, a bummer day for us to be honest, we had a good day going and then ended up hitting
01:14a waypoint backwards and jumped one, so it gave us a 15 minute penalty, which was kind
01:19of a bummer, but all in all we really didn't lose that much time considering we did really
01:23good in the road book and didn't really get too lost and lose too much time, so still
01:27made up time on the guys in front of us, which was good.
01:30Yeah, we made an error right in the beginning, we got lost, then while we got lost we had
01:37a puncture and no, it's not over, I mean, it's still a long way to go and still a lot
01:44of race miles to go, so yeah, that was not great.
