Santiago, 19 gennaio - L’epilogo. Gli ultimi sofferti 600 chilometri. La prova speciale lunga, 350 chilometri, “mascherata”, perché include un interminabile intermezzo neutralizzato di quasi 200 km. 110 km cronometrati fino a Canela Baja, e solo 15 a Limache, nell’epilogo-spettacolo all’interno di una “fazenda” che si contrappone al prologo di Pisco di due settimane fa. Non è la durezza della tappa, niente di trascendentale, che caratterizza l’impegno. È l’ultimo giorno, l’ultimo sforzo, ed è “vitale” portarlo a compimento, e lo stress psicologico, dopo 13 giorni di fatica, di incertezza e di logorio diventa un peso quasi insopportabile. Ma alla fine c’è Santiago, Piazza della Costituzione davanti al Palazzo de la Moneda, il podio di arrivo, il simbolo della riuscita dell’impresa.
Niente “ataque final”, l’idolo locale Francisco Lopez non può mandare in visibilio i sui tifosi perché ha dovuto cambiare il motore alla sua KTM. Il “Piloto Nacional” aveva vinto la penultima tappa e scavalcato Ruben Faria nella generale, portandosi a otto minuti dal Leader. Ma la sostituzione del propulsore, per un problema al cambio, costa a “Chaleco” 15 minuti e la seconda posizione, e ora il cileno deve difendere il podio dall’attacco dello slovacco Ivan Jakes, quarto a tre minuti dal cileno.
“Salta” il thriller finale, ma Lopez batte Faria e Rodrigues all’intertempo, e Despres è in ritardo di 8 minuti e 14 secondi! Non ci fosse stato il cambio di motore, i due primattori dell’ultima giornata di gara sarebbero separati da un secondo soltanto. L’entusiasmo popolare esplode nuovamente, il campanilismo di scorda in fretta della “legge”. E infine arriva l’ora dell’ultima super-speciale, ricavata all’interno della tenuta privata, riservata, come lamentano i cileni, a pochi privilegiati. L’arrivo della Dakar dei cileni privilegio di un piccola élite!
“Ed ecco l’ultimo traguardo. Vince Lopez, Faria è secondo, Barreda terzo. Despres finisce al 17° posto, ma non importa. Un solo Pilota può alzare le braccia al cielo, dopo due incredibili settimane a quell’inferno agonistico che è il più desiderato della storia dello sport motoristico, ed è lui: Cyril Despres”
Despres vince la sua quinta Dakar
Ed ecco l’ultimo traguardo. Vince Lopez, Faria è secondo, Barreda terzo. Despres finisce al 17° posto, ma non importa. Un solo Pilota può alzare le braccia al cielo, dopo due incredibili settimane a quell’inferno agonistico che è il più desiderato della storia dello sport motoristico, ed è lui: Cyril Despres. Il successo del francese è completo. Al secondo posto si classifica il suo “portatore d’acqua”, il portoghese Ruben Faria. E il terzo è “Chaleco” Lopez, che ha vinto cinque Speciali e che ha “rischiato” di chiudere al secondo posto assoluto.
Cyril Despres, 39enne di Fontainebleau vince la sua quinta Dakar, uguagliando il record del primo mito della corsa, Cyril Neveu. Neveu ha vinto nel ’79, ’80, 82, ’86 e 1987. Despres nel 2005, 2007, 2010 e l’anno scorso. Cyril Neveu è stato il pioniere, il primo Campione del Rally di Thierry Sabine, il primo di una serie cortissima di fuoriclasse speciali. Despres è il Campione moderno, Pilota ufficiale di una Marca, KTM, che vince ininterrottamente dal 2001, anno del primo successo di Fabrizio Meoni.
Despres vince la Dakar 2013 con una sola vittoria.
Despres ha vinto la 34ma Dakar ottenendo una sola vittoria di tappa, la 9a, all’indomani della sua giornata più difficile quando, con il motore in panne, è diventato meccanico di se stesso e lo ha sostituito con quello del polacco Dabrowski. Questo succedeva a metà della tappa marathon. Il giorno dopo il Campione rompeva gli indugi e saliva in cattedra, dando una grande dimostrazione di forza con un’aggressività che non è tra tra i “numeri” abituali del suo repertorio. Despres è stato al comando per un giorno alla fine della terza tappa, poi è sceso fino alla quinta posizione. Risalito in testa al termine della decima giornata della corsa, ha conservato e difeso il primato fino all’ultimo giorno, fino a Santiago.
Despres ha respinto l’attacco di numerosi pretendenti al Titolo che già deteneva. Joan Barreda, David Casteu, Olivier Pain, Helder Rodrigues, il nostro Alessandro Botturi, che non pretendeva niente ma ha dimostrato di essere uno dei grandi, Francisco Lopez, certo, che ci ha provato più di tutti fino alla fine. Alcuni degli avversari si sono messi fuori gara da soli, altri sono stati battuti. Non c’era Marc Coma alla verifica dei fuoriclasse, ma già siamo fuori dal reale, e solo chi vince sa come si fa. Ha vinto Despres, lui sa come.
LIVE COMMENTS FROM DAKAR 2013:
19:16 Bikes: Finish 2: Top 5
Francisco López was the fastest rider on today's course, beating Ruben Faria by 29', Joan Barreda by 37', Hélder Rodrigues by 53' and Juan Pedrero García by 1'25'. Nevertheless, the penalties handed down to Chaleco and Juan Pedrero García for changing their engines yesterday offer the stage win on a platter to Ruben Faria.
18:50 Bikes: Finish: High five for Despres!
The 2013 edition came to an end with Cyril Despres taking his fifth Dakar win. Ruben Faria finished second at 10'43', followed by Francisco López at 18'48' and Ivan Jakes at 23'54'. Juan Pedrero García was fifth at 55'29', ahead of sixth-placed Olivier Pain.
18:37 Bikes: Chaleco's penalty comes into effect
There's a reason why Chaleco is so far behind the leaders in today's Scratch classification: the 15-minute penalty set out in the rules for changing his engine has come into effect.
18:35 Bikes: Finish 2: One for Barreda?
Joan Barreda has posted the best time so far for the last section, whose route was changed earlier. He clocked a cumulative time of 1 h 43'14' for today's two sections. 16' behind lies Hélder Rodrigues, with Paulo Gonçalves at 2'24' and Cyril Despres at 3'50'. Francisco López got lost in this sector and conceded 14'23'.
18:15 Bikes: Start 2: Chaleco at sixes and sevens
Francisco López's got lost in the second part of the special, 11 km long. This short section could very well see the Chilean rider lose third place to Ivan Jakes.
15:19 Bikes: Finish 1: Faria and Barreda on the virtual podium
At the moment, Ruben Faria holds the second best time at the finish of the first part of the special, 32' behind Francisco López. Joan Barreda is third, 8' behind the Portuguese rider. Frans Verhoeven, who was in the Top 3 at the previous checkpoints, has yet to finish.
15:10 Bikes: Chaleco takes the special, but
Francisco López had to change his engine yesterday evening, resulting in a 15-minute penalty effective as of the end of today's stage. This means the Chilean is now fighting for the bottom step of the podium of the 2013 Dakar. His main rival is Ivan Jakes.
14:59 Bikes: Finish 1: Chaleco wins
Francisco López takes the penultimate special of the 2013 Dakar ahead of Spain's Joan Barreda, who lies in a provisional second place, 1'05' back. Cyril Despres is third at 2'20', followed by Paulo Gonçalves at 3'05'. But we're waiting for some of the protagonists of today's special to finish in order to confirm this classification.
14:43 Bikes: Km 86: Waiting for Verhoeven and Faria
No significant changes from the situation at the first checkpoint: Joan Barreda (+41') is second, followed by Juan Pedrero García (+46') and Hélder Rodrigues (+1'19'). But we're waiting for Frans Verhoeven and Ruben Faria, who posted the second and third best times earlier.
14:38 Bikes: Chaleco still in charge after 86 km
The Chilean rider has probably made a point of winning the penultimate stage in front of his home crowds and is leading Cyril Despres by 1'54'. These two men are opening the road, so we're still waiting for the other riders.
14:20 Bikes: Verhoeven even closer to Chaleco
It's now Frans Verhoeven's turn to take second place, 13 seconds down on the reference.
14:17 Bikes: Faria second after 41 km
Cyril Despres' lieutenant has clocked the second best time for the first part of the special, a mere 25' behind leader Chaleco.
14:04 Bikes: Km 41: Barreda and García hot on López's heels
Chaleco still holds the best time for the first 41 km, followed by Joan Barreda (+31') in second place and Juan Pedrero García (+33') in third. Hélder Rodrigues (+53') has just toppled Cyril Despres from fourth place.
13:57 Bikes: Chaleco with a cutlass between his teeth
Francisco López is leading today's special ahead of Cyril Despres, with a time of 29'55' for the first 41 km. Just before the halfway point, the Frenchman is 1'04' down, but his overall lead still looks safe.
13:22 Bikes: López dashes to Santiago
Francisco López started the special at 9:15 am. 346 kilometres await, with a first timed section of 111 km. We'll keep an eye on the gaps between him and his main rival Cyril Despres.
13:09 : The motorcycles start the special at 9:15 local time
The first motorcycle started at 9:15 am after a short, 15-minute delay to the previous time was necessary to ensure that the morning fog had lifted enough to allow for the deployment of safety operations for today's special.
12:57 : Tentative motorcycle start at 9 am local time
After yet another delay due to low altitude clouds over the course, the motorcycle race will start within minutes if the race direction gives its 'all clear'.
11:44 : Start delayed
The cloud cover is very low (roughly 200 m) over the start of today's special, which means helicopters can't take off at the moment. Therefore, the start of the motorcycle race has been delayed by an hour for safety reasons. It's also raining on the course of today's stage.
11:23 Bikes: Francisco López leads the charge
Chile's Francisco López is opening the road this morning as the first of the 125 motorcycle riders cleared to start today's 122 km link section. Cyril Despres set off right after him at 5:47 am local time. The Frenchman is in the overall lead, with 8'15' on Chaleco.
