When it comes time to take stock of this Dakar rally on the occasion of this Saturday’s rest day, Charlie Autumn (now nicknamed Callaghan) has the smile and the long teeth to grab a few more places in the general, even if the marathon stage in the dunes sated him for a little while. 39th of this long stage of 835 km, the Poitevin driver moved up three places in the general standings where he is now also 39th. Riding his Gasgas, Charlie Herbst suffers a lot, has come a long way, but savors the adventure:“I experienced some adventures on the 1st day with a big fall at 120 km/h where everything might have stopped. On the 2nd day, a mechanical breakdown problem with a radiator problem, so I lost almost everything. an hour in total. After the other days it went well.”
By the fire with Sainz and Loeb
The justice of the peace on this Dakar 2024 rally was the highly anticipated 24-hour marathon event without assistance, without contact with the outside world and without knowledge of the current classification, and the Poitevin biker will keep great memories of it:“We did 628 km of special in the dunes as far as the eye might see, I managed pretty well.” Like the other competitors, the Poitou pilot found himself bivouacking in the desert with all the competitors and he really liked it: ” What’s great regarding the 48H stage is to find ourselves in the true essence of the Dakar, we found ourselves by the fire with Carlos Sainz, Sébastien Loeb, all these car competitors in particular, who we never almost never sees the rest of the time.”
Charlie Herbst loves the dunes, there he is served – charlie Herbst
“Physically, I’m good, everything is going well, we continue, we are fighting to get into the top 30 and what’s more, the bike is working well. So see you at the finish”. And until then, Charlie Herbst will be keen to continue to bring his numerous community of fans to life, his adventures in inside mode. Every day, a videographer from his team (Alexis), offers stage summaries with images onboard the bike, but also interviews with other competitors and life on the paddock with the smallest details of the team, that whether the repairs with the mechanic (“Lainlain”) or the hand washing of the underwear by “Dudu” who ensures all the stewardship.
