Rodrigues was handed a
30-minute penalty on Monday evening after it had become clear he missed a
waypoint during stage one.
"Today was one of the longest days of the
rally," said India´s motorsport star CS Santosh. "My navigation was
good in the dunes. I paid close attention to the roadbook and that went
alright. I got a little lost on two occasions, but the overall feeling remains
very positive," he added
