Here is the "story" De Roy told Dakar organizers, and they are even printed that story on official dakar site: [Quote] Helping a competitor in difficulty is one of the fundamentals of the rally-raid discipline. Gerard de Rooy did not hesitate in helping his rival Ayrat Mardeev. The quarter of an hour spent in helping the crew to get free from the cab and setting the Kamaz upright probably cost him victory today, but such a sporting and kind gesture is worth any number of victories. [End quote. Source: www.dakar.com/dakar/2014/us/stage-2/live-feed.html] Now, look at this video starting from 1:00 where it is showing De Roy leaving after “setting the Kamaz upright”. The Kamaz car is the same way upside down as it was right after crash. Exists a clear a difference between trying to set up Kamaz upright and “setting the Kamaz upright”. De Roy, you can prove your “story” easily. Each car on that Dakar race has dashboard camera recordings for area in front of the car and many have cameras for the back side. For sure you can place on RUclips your footage showing all your so called “help” for 22 claimed minutes. Right? You can do this? Or will you tell another story that there is no camera and there is no any record to show?
It is very strange. De Roy asked organizers to give him 22 minutes for helping Mardeev. Exist a few videos that are showing that De Roy stopped and ran towards Mardeev’s car, but all these videos are _so_conveniently_cut_ that they are showing nothing else. How come? So far, there are no any single video showing even 2 minutes of so called "help", leave alone 22! Accordingly to Mardeev, his crew get our of the car without any assistance and they tell De Roy that they don’t need any help and he can go, thanks. After that others drivers saw De Roy's car stuck in that same area near Mardeev’s car. So, basically De Roy claimed that time when his car was stuck as a help time to Mardeev. De Roy, hopefully you can do better than this. Do not use very doubtful paper work, use real road when you are trying to win the race.
