Dakar top 15 after stage 2.


Volkswagen team mates Carlos Sainz, Michel Perin and Giniel De Villiers, Dirk Von Zitzewitz moved into the top 2 places of this year's Dakar yesterday on the Santa Rosa de la Pampa to Puerto Madryn stage. Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah, Tina Thorner in their BMW X3 CC have dropped from 1st overall to 4th overall.
With another 13 stages to complete through some of the toughest tourain in South America the final leaderboard will most likely look completely different, it is nice to see German manufacturers doing so well at present though!
