Hallo friends of the Dakar
I'm sorry, since the telephonecall after the prologue, I hadn't contact with Ruedi and Sandy. Maybe they are too occupied or the conection doesn't work.
This evening I'll try to phone them.
When I've got actual news from them, be shure, I'll inform you all immediatly.

I have some bad news from the Dakar web site. Ruedi and Sandy are now listed as "withdrawl", meaning they are out of the race. This occured in stage 7. They were running very late in stage 6, so I'm not sure if they started stage 7 then broke down, or if they did not start stage 7. Hopefully it is not due to an accident. In the early stages they were VERY fast, running ahead of half of the other motorcycles. I hope they get back home safely and with their complete sidecar, so they can start preparing for Dakar 2006!
