17:54 - Henrard leaves hospital
Even though Stéphane Henrard was rushed into hospital yesterday for an emergency operation on a kidney problem, the professional driver has nonetheless decided to take the starter’s orders for his tenth Dakar. Whilst visibly apprehensive about driving in a weakened state, the Belgian declared that he has come to this rally, "to enjoy myself as much as possible". Alongside him, novice Brigitte Bécue is an accomplished sportswoman: she has participated in four Olympic Games and has been European swimming champion several times. The crew hopes to finish in the top ten and take on some of the major teams. This goal is within reach for Stéphane Henrard: in 2001, in a buggy as an amateur for his first participation, he finished 7th before finishing 6th in 2003.
