Ullevalseter’s line honors allowed him to edge forward ahead of Chilean Francesco Lopez in the overall standings. He is now second overall with a slim four minute advantage over the Chilean rider. While the battle for the minor places continues to intensify as the rally heads for the Argentinean capital on Saturday, the French-born Despres still has a handsome lead of one hour four minutes and 12 seconds, even if the silverware is not in his hands just yet.

KTM-supported rider Cyril Despres on Thursday finished the longest ride of the Dakar 2010 in eighth position at the close of Stage 12, trimming his substantial overall lead by just over 17 minutes on a day that favored the smaller 450 cc machines and demanded absolute concentration for nearly 800 km.

In order to preserve his position at the front of the pack and so close to the end of the rally, it was the French-born rider’s task to ride a steady, but solid race and arrive in San Rafael in good shape.

Day 13 Dakar 2010: Goodbye Chile, hello Argentina. Despres retains overall lead

KTM’s Cyril Despres put in a solid day’s ride across the Andes to San Juan on Wednesday to retain the overall lead by 1 hour 20’54” as the Dakar “caravan” 2010 returned to Argentina. Despres was seventh in the 11th stage but only 4’21” behind the stage leader Frans Verhoeven.

Despres said it had been a nice stage and confirmed he is having too much fun to hold back for the sake of caution. “It was strange at the beginning, because after 13 km, there was a banner stopping us following a track,” he said after the day’s ride. ”I went straight ahead for about 80 meters but I turned around after I saw Marc Coma coming back in the other direction followed by other riders. After that, we carried on as a group. I rather enjoyed myself. It was quick today, 220 km in a flash. Was I being extremely careful? No. When I climb on the bike, I just can’t hold myself back. I just want to have fun”.
