Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 12, 2009 , right here and chat about the action during the 9th stage

Stage 9 - Monday, January 12

La Serena > Copiapo
Connection: 88 km | Special: 449 km | Connection: 0 km | Total: 537 km
We are at the first step of a decisive trilogy. The reputation of the Atacama Desert, known as the world’s driest, will be tested by the competitors. Those who hope to find dunes will be rewarded. But they will also be fed a generous helping of rocks. This stage is typical of the Dakar 2009, with numerous changes of terrain. The positioning of difficulties, with long stretches of dunes at the end, will require pilots to conserve their strength. They must show themselves to be both multi-talented and with a firm sense of how to manage their efforts.

I wouldn't pay any mind to the CP 2 standings. obviously some vehicles have passed through and messed up the timing and scoring.
Well, just ignore the three top listed. You can still do the math yourself to see how far RG is behind Miller and Sainz.
when should RG be through? KM 218?
I believe they got a feed from Planet Robby and were getting their kicks with the names and decided to feed the fire a little.
timing showing up for Km235
miller and saintz are already through 235
Its less than 20km down the course. No big deal that they're through 235km and not many are through 218km.
true,, thanks
uh oh Roma through.... no RG though...
And he is what, 17 minutes behind Miller?
cruella devillle through also
this is like listening to the Superbowl through a tin can and a string
