Le 45 ème Dakar vient d’être lancé et c’est une spéciale de 13 kilomètres (SEA CAMP > SEA CAMP) qui était au programme et la catégorie auto vient d’en terminer et c’est Mattias Ekström qui domine cette étape en 8:00 et qui lance son Dakar de la plus belle des manières. Il devance Sébastien Loeb perd lui une petite seconde et il devance l’autre Audi de Stéphane Peterhansel.
Belle performance de Germain Chicherit qui pointe lui cinquième devant Carlos Sainz !
Romain Dumas est lui 18 ème devant Serradori qui perd déjà beaucoup de temps.
