STAGE 1 - SUMMARY - Casteus big bluff & Romas double in Córdoba

Behind the handlebars of a brand new 450cc, David Casteu has thrown the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons on the first stage of the Dakar. He has taken the lead in the general standings with the days best time in front of the two favourites for outright victory, Cyril Despres and Marc Coma. In the car race, Joan Nani Roma picked up the second stage victory of his career in the car category, in Cordoba, like in 2009. In the truck category, Vlaldimir Chagin leads the rally with a lead of 27 over Ales Loprais.
