Fishing for a podium finish

Kyneton dirt bike rider, Matt Fish is continuing to display his strong riding ability in the Dakar Rally, despite dropping from sixth place to 56th.
The 50-place loss came with teammate Joan Barreda's gas pump problems and an engine change penalty in stage five.
As the waterboy for the Husqvarna Rally Team, Fish is responsible for assisting teammates who run into problems.
Fish kept up with the team's strong start, earning a podium position in stage two of this, his first Dakar. He came third in that early stage, placing him sixth overall, not far behind first-placing Barreda, and ahead of other teammates Paulo Goncalves, 22nd, and Alessandro Botturi, 27th.
At the conclusion of stage five on Wednesday, the overall standings were: Botturi, seventh, Goncalves, 16th, Barreda, 54th, and Fish, 56th.
There is ample opportunity for Fish and the team to come back to the podium with nine stages remaining in the 14-stage event.
The prestigious world rally, in its 31st year, is being held in South America.
