Edgar Canet did the same thing again, reaching the finish line on a deformed wheel. “I hit it and tried to tighten the spokes.”
edgar canet Once again, he resisted everything to keep society going. dakar Don’t give up, aim to continue learning to complete the remaining three test stages and reach your final goal. He achieved this goal despite damaging his wheel at the beginning of the marathon stage, at the 160km mark on Stage 9, and having to run an additional 150km before reaching his evacuation bivouac, and completing the second half of the marathon stage, Stage 10, 368km on his deformed front wheel.
“I tried to hit it, but it was aluminum and I couldn’t get back to where I was,” the La Garriga player told Sportish, who is already in the Bixa camp after the special. “The radius is to keep the wheel almost straight, and it was a little loose so I tightened it up as much as I could, because when a wheel is round it has a diameter, but with a hole it’s smaller in some places and bigger in others.” So I tightened it up as much as possible and tried it carefully. Jump more than usual to avoid hitting another stone. Because doing so would be deadly. ”“Coe de la Garriga” told the MD.
“If I hit that rock again in that hole, my tire might break. So I’ve been taking it easy so far. There are already 10 stages. This Dakar is a little longer, but I’m going to keep having fun. There are only three stages left, and I’m motivated.” he pointed out.
The Catalan also revealed how he noticed his wheels were deformed. ”“As I reached out to grab the camel’s back, the handlebars started vibrating and I realized the rims were bent.”.
But that wasn’t the only problem Edgar had. That’s because he had to deal with another major mechanical failure related to the two gas tanks the KTM has, one in the front and one in the back. This is because you need to adjust the weight of the bike and its position.
“Yesterday, the rear gas tank stopped working and I had to connect it from the back to the front so that the gas could flow, but at the same time I couldn’t leave it connected because if the gas didn’t flow from the front to the back, it would gradually empty and I might not be able to make it in time for the next refueling. So I had to connect and disconnect, and at a certain point I could see that the connector was getting harder to connect and it was getting harder to keep the gas tank full, but I managed to do it,” he commented to the newspaper with a smile.
All of this means Edgar continues to add experience and learning. Just like the difficult experience he had to go through when he saw firsthand the “behind the scenes of rallying” when he had to help several injured drivers.
he saved the pilot who crashed
“I have learned from all these situations. I hope that all such bad situations will remain here in Dakar.” I’m learning a lot about machines and other things. but Today I watched two parts of Larry. Luciano takes the lead (brabec ends up taking the lead as he is given time back) Afterwards, I found several downed pilots and rescued them. A big accident happened at the endSo we stood there for an hour helping until the helicopter could take him away. “That’s the bad thing about this Dakar.”
Despite all this, and with the time given back for stopping to help the injured pilot, Edgar Canet finished the 10th stage in 10th place, 18 minutes and 36 seconds behind his best time of the day..

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.
At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.
Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.
Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.
Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.

Photos of the allegedly leaked Ferrari F1 team jerseys for the 2026 season have appeared on the internet.
The published photos show a red T-shirt with white inserts.
Ferrari will officially announce its color on January 23. At the same time, some sources reported that the design of the 2026 car should be “pleasantly surprising”.
Given that Ferrari and other teams have used darker shades of their primary colors (red in the Scuderia’s case) in recent years, the introduction of red and white team uniforms could signal a move towards a lighter color scheme.
The same idea is put forward in a video published on the Scuderia’s official account.

Former Formula 1 champion Damon Hill has warned fans that the winner of the 2026 season could be a real surprise.
The current large-scale changes to the regulations are among the biggest in the history of the sport. They are expected to change the balance of power in the starting grid for a long time.
Hill is confident that the pundits have no idea who will start the new season with the best cars because the cars will be completely different, even in terms of handling.
Particular attention of the expert is drawn to Aston Martin, which was able to make a leap from the middle of the table after signing Adrian Newey from Red Bull.
Hill noted the following about Lando Norris’ chances of defending his title:
“All bets are off for this year. We don’t know who will be in uniform. You can’t automatically assume that pilots who performed well under previous regulations can now do it again.”
The cars are completely different. “50% of engine power is now provided by the electric battery, and this affects the way cars are controlled, their aerodynamics and their design.”
Hill added that the season could be a complete surprise:
“Yes, you can [ожидать смену эпохи в Ф1 в этом году]. We may see a complete surprise. It’s like Jenson Button beating Brown; Everyone was surprised because they understood the rules better.
“And the master of understanding the rules is Adrian Newey, who went to Aston Martin. He left Red Bull and Max Verstappen, Christian Horner also left that team. But he went to Aston Martin.”
“So we’re waiting for him to wave his magic wand over Aston Martin. And it could happen.”
