Dakar Rally 2012 Day 3 update

Tue, 03 Jan 2012

American Robby Gordon continues to hold second place overall at the completion of day three of the 2012 Dakar.

Hummer driver Gordon, vying to make up for the delays suffered on Monday, completed the 129 competitive miles between San Rafael and San Juan in the Argentine Andes with the fifth-fastest time.

His teammate and defending Dakar champion Nasser Al-Attiyah was third-quickest and moves into sixth position overall, having dropped precious time on day one with a loss of oil pressure.

Spain's Nani Roma set Tuesday's pace as fellow Mini driver Krzysztof Holowczyc from Poland grabbed the outright advantage, despite finishing one minute, nine seconds slower than Roma.

Holowczyc's overnight lead over Gordon stands at 54 seconds, with Toyota Hilux pilot Giniel de Villiers up to third and Roma fourth, one minute, 50 seconds behind Holowczyc.
