The Week on Twitter: 10 Jan 2010

  • All change: BSB website has the 2010 riders up (http://is.gd/5MN9y); BTCC website has gone all Dunlop yellow (http://is.gd/5MN40). #
  • Apparently Briatore has won his court case and overturned his FIA lifetime ban. What does this mean? Quite a lot, possibly. Mental. #
  • Stage 5 of #Dakar is underway. Don't think they've got the snow we have to contend with, but it is the second longest stage of the rally. #
  • Bikes are 187 of 456km into #Dakar S5. Coma is narrowly ahead of overall leader Despres, trying to make up the near 40 mins he's behind. #
  • Meanwhile, cars are just 53km into #Dakar S5, and it's Sainz just ahead of Al-Attiyah. Overall leader Peterhansel isn't far behind. #
  • Not sure why the snow is making me want to tweet Dakar updates. But unless you want to watch Flav & the FIA fighting, it's all there is. #
  • It's worth reading the words from Kevin Wheatcroft about the future of Donington Park and the whole mess. http://is.gd/5O51a #
  • #Dakar overall leader Peterhansel has stopped 135km into S5. No sign at 138km checkpoint. Cars now beyond 187km. Sainz overall leader. #
  • Blimey, Peterhansel is on his way, but in the bikes both Coma and Casteu have stopped. Clearly a bit of a mental day for the #Dakar. #
  • Casteu out of #Dakar after a fall on today's stage, which was won by local Lopez Contardo. Despres leads him overall by 37 mins. #
  • Monster World Rally Team – Ken Block in a Ford – launched. Rather fun video: http://is.gd/5QyyL. #WRC should be ruddy good this year. #
  • #F1 Mosley says Briatore/FIA spat is "very far from over" (http://is.gd/5QKJE ). Can't they all just do us a favour and sod off? #
  • Oops! Unusual #Dakar bike standings on stage 6: most of the front runners took a wrong turn. Despres didn't, so he leads. http://is.gd/5QWsY #
  • So we've already got the tedious saga of Mosley vs Briatore, and now Irvine vs Button too (http://is.gd/5UwTW). This is a long #F1 winter. #
