Damp conditions affect Crosbie at Dakar Rally

He sits third in the African rankings after South Africans Giniel de Villiers and Conrad Rautenbach who lie in sixth and ninth positions respectively in the overall ratings. Crosbie, who had reached the highest stage finish at 27th spot, has slipped down to overall 41st due to the harsh weather conditions in the area. 

Crosbie started the race brightly on the first day, navigating the technical section of 35km that saw him dodging spectators and hidden dangers.
