This is a beautiful stage that the Dakar Rally 2013. With departure and arrival in Pisco after a link of 85 kilometers, it seemed a priori that it was going to be a stage of contact. But nothing could be further from the truth since a dune located approximately at kilometer 75 has wreaked havoc on the leaders, allowing Joan Barreda get his second win and is placed leader of the provisional general.

The stage was one hundred percent sand and as we said, a little before the half, the leaders decided to go around a large dune instead of climbing it. The road took them northeast while the good track, after a fork, went west.

The worst was that the rodeo involved more difficulties than it seemed and all the pilots who came further back benefited from this small navigation difficulty, making what a priori was the riskiest bet and which in the end would be the good one.

The Spanish presence In the first positions of the stage today he has been noticed, in addition to new faces or pilots who normally go unnoticed due to their backpacking work.

Behind Joan Barreda came Juan Pedrero and the backpacker from Barreda, Matt fish. Jordi Viladoms I entered eighth and to look for Cyril Despres we have to go down to twelfth position. Today the French lost a little more than ten minutes although he has had it worse Lopez vest, with more than 18 minutes of disadvantage in the goal.

Joan Barreda takes the lead of the general with 05:36 on Ruben Faria and 06:36 on Joan Pedreró. Frenchman Cyril Despres is still fifth, almost nine minutes away with compatriot David Casteu just ahead.
