With only 3 stages left VW has moved back into the second spot! With a race that can change in seconds for ya this is good news for the VW/Redbull team.
A mere 20 minutes separate works driver Giniel de Villiers and
co-driver Tina Thörner in the Race Touareg from new leader Luc Alphand
(Mitsubishi). On the 872 kilometre long twelfth stage de Villiers
arrived at the finish in third place, while previous leader Stephane
Peterhansel (Mitsubishi) lost the lead to Alphand after hitting a tree.
Nani Roma leads Peterhansel, who is fourth and now eight minutes in
front of fifth placed Mark Miller in another Volkswagen Race Touareg.
The day’s stage from Bamako in Mali to Labé in Guinea marks the first
part of the so-called marathon stage during which only the competing
Race-Trucks can carry out the evening service to rally cars – alongside
the drivers and co-drivers who must also roll-up their sleeves today.
