Intanto, al penultimo waypoint di oggi la situazione pare dimostri che la cosa funziona:

Il più incazzato: Duclos.

14:33 : Bikes: hats off for Duclos
Alain Duclos, twentieth in the overall ranking, has had a very bizarre setback. After a minor fall, the Frenchman removed his helmet to get up and repair his bike. When he was about to resume racing, his helmet had disappeared!!! The Sherco rider has therefore stopped at the side of the tracks after around 290 kilometres and is hoping to find a solution quickly. But what sort of solution? Without his helmet, he cannot resume racing for obvious safety reasons.
Subito dopo? meo.
15:18 : Bikes: Meo stops!
What has happened to Antoine Meo less than 40 kilometres from the finish? The Frenchman stopped for at least five minutes before resuming racing. This will be a blow to Meo’s hopes and a paltry reward for the ‘sacrifice’ he has made today by escorting his team leader Toby Price. The five times enduro world champion, who had gained third place in the overall ranking could lose more than one position.
