Abandon de Carlos SAINZ/Lucas CRUZ à l’issue de l’étape 10
Au kilomètre 213 de l’étape 10 entre Belen et La Rioja, #carlossainz a été stoppé par la
casse de l’entretoise reliant la boîte de vitesses au moteur. La #peugeot #2008dkr N°303
a rejoint le bivouac tractée par un camion d’assistance. Après analyse, l’équipe technique
a constaté qu’outre la casse de l’entretoise, des dégâts collatéraux importants ne
permettent pas à l’équipage Sainz – Cruz de poursuivre ce #dakar2016.
Carlos Sainz et #lucascruz étaient leaders du classement général au départ de cette
étape avec 2 victoires (7 et 9).
Retirement of #carlossainz and #lucascruz after stage 10
At kilometre 213 of stage 10 between Belen and La Rioja, #carlossainz was stopped by a
breakage of the spacer between the gearbox and the engine. The number 303 Peugeot
2008 DKR reached the bivouac on tow from a service truck. After a full analysis, the team
engineers concluded that as well as the breakage of the spacer between the engine and
gearbox, there was other significant collateral damage that will prevent the crew of
Carlos Sainz and #lucascruz from continuing in the 2016 Dakar.
They were in the overall lead of the rally as today’s leg got underway, with two stage
wins (stage 7 and stage 9).
