    12:49 Karginov leads

    Title holder Andrey Karginov is in the lead at the first time check point, but no less than seven trucks are within the same minute, with Airat Mardeev seventh, 58’’ behind the current stage leader. General standings leader Dmitry Sotnikov has dropped down in to fourth place, but only 13’’ behind Karginov!



    12:02 The truck race is underway

    General standings leader and yesterday’s winner Dmitry Sotnikov is the first truck driver to get to grips with the special on stage eight. The Russian is opening the way in front of his team-mates Airat Mardeev and Anton Shibalov.

08:25 Sotnikov still in control

    Dmitry Sotnikov continues to reap his bumper crop of podium finishes since stage 1. In fact, the Russian and his crew have yet to finish a stage lower than second. In the general standings, he leads teammate Anton Shibalov by over 45 minutes and yet another Kamaz driver, Ayrat Mardeev, by over an hour. There can always be a mechanical lurking just around the corner, but as things stand, his rivals have their work cut out for them to make up time!
