Once again, this stage in the form of a loop around Tidjikja , will have allowed competitors to discover fully this region of Mauritania, a real jewel of the country. In terms of sport, the 415 km route was also a big challenge in piloting and navigation. However, the race leaders were discreet and the suspense remains intact in all categories. Above all, this day of rest for the assistants and the organization, will have enabled Jérôme FROISSART, the President of AMADE, a Monegasque association for the protection and development of childhood in the World, to distribute hundreds of lamps in schools in the Tidjikja region .

In the motorcycle category, this 9 th special stage should have been that of the Italian offensive. Indeed, Alessandro BOTTURI and Paolo LUCCI had decided to roll together and attack as much as possible to try, for a first to widen the gap with Pal Anders ULLEVALSETER to ensure his leadership . And in second , the goal was to take the 3 rd place overall from Lyndon Poskitt. Alas, the two men got lost after 10 km, adding 8 km to their route . They took 250 km to overtake their opponents and then continued to attack . But BOTTURI slipped into a stony part. He then told LUCCI not to wait for him and to run towards the finish.

The young Italian did so and the revelation of this 12 th edition of the AFRICA ECO RACE won his 2 nd rally special on his HUSQVARNA ahead of BOTTURI at 00:02:18 , since it was slightly delayed during the restart of his YAMAHA. Arriving at the same time that two Italians, Pal Anders Ullevalseter concedes 00:02:03 on BOTTURI. The Italian Giovanni GRITTI HONDA ends in 4th place at 00:06:56 behind the winner, in front of Lyndon Poskitt by 00:06:40 pm. since the Columbia lost about ten minutes after the gasoline supply problems of his KTM 20 km from the finish.

Note the superb performance of the young Polish Konrad DABROWSKI. At just 18, the junior knows how to racesand end endip 2nd rally, land left this monring in 41st position , extrememly exhausted by today. eft this morning in 41 th position, completely exhausted from yesterday’s special where he had a day in hell. Despite this, he rode alone all day and riding his KTM, it gives a beautiful 6 th time. The first bike + 450 cm3 is that of the Italian Franco Picco, 13 th day when victory in this special category in the MOTUL XTREME RIDER comes to the French Amaury BARATIN, 17 th , just before the Senegalese Mamadou BOCOUM progressing every day.

In the Auto – Truck – SSV category, Patrick and Lucas MARTIN are again imposing their Tarek MERCEDES Buggy today since the SCANIA of Miklos KOVACS, Laszlo ACS and Peter CZEGLEDI is fined 15 minutes for a missed Waypoint . The French thus consolidate their first place overall on four wheels.

The 3 rd place special stage returns to the SSV CAN AM Patrice Etienne and Jean-Pierre Saint Martin . The French, who had a small flip, had the chance to finish the stage. They are ahead of Loïc FREBOURG and Franck BOULAY, also on a CAN AM and still as efficient . Jean Yves Fromont, who paid the price of a penalty of 15 minutes and therefore will not end as 5th before Gert-jan and Vander VALK Branco DE LANGE, Dutch on a CAN AM.

The Belgians Igor Bouwens, Ulrich Boerboom and Frits Driesmans also gone very far this morning after the time lost yesterday, well back on track by placing their IVECO in 7 th position . Benoit FRETIN and Cedric duple, category leaders SSV XTREME RACE with their CAN AM X3, rank 8 th before the Belgian Geoffrey NOEL BURLIN on POLARIS. E xcepté for FRETIN, the provisional overall leader with nearly 2 hours ahead, nothing is certain in this category ISS since ETIENNE and FREBOURG CHRISTMAS BURLIN stand in less than 12 minutes. In the top 10 of the day, we find again the MERCEDES truck of the Dutch Johan ELFRINK and Dirk SANDERS.

Today, Friday 17th of January, the 10th stage of the Africa Eco race between Tidjikdja and Idini, long of 499km, was supposed to be the deal maker on this 12th edition, should it be for the bikes or the four wheels category. Unfortunately, the director of the event had to neutralise the special stage at km 249, at a refuelling point.

Indeed, three bikers had an accident on the first part of the course which needed the attention of two of the helicopters out of three. It was therefore impossible to ensure the security of the competitors on the 500km route and such decision was obligatory. The participants joined the finish line 20km from the bivouac on the liaison route, relatively rolling and easy on the last 250 km.
