Peter Jerie is up to 120th outright after finishing the stage in 115th. Quite a few water crossings caught a few competitors out including Vatanen who lost over an hour just 17km from the finish of the stage. Stage 2 Portugal Newsflash Message in from Peter, Very narrow and dusty, impossible to overtake. No point to take risks and gain 5 minutes.

Three seconds of coverage on SBS Dakar show tonight. Footage of Peter getting towed out of the bog with lots of spectators around. Car looked very striking in it's silver livery.
