Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 15, 2009,right here and chat about the action during the 12th stage.Robby sits 5th in the overall standings,and will roll off second for stage 12.

Stage 12 - Thursday, January 15

Fiambala > La Rioja

Connection: 4 km | Special: 253 km | Connection: 261 km | Total: 518 km
As concerns crossings, the day’s special is a concentrate of technique. Various types of dunes will be encountered, including the very formidable “white dunes”. Just three days from arrival, this stage can scramble rankings, especially because the assistance vehicles will not have access to the Fiambala bivouac. The Golden Rule is still: “know how to economize your machine”.

Must say - look at the diff between 1st & 2nd.
Damn, this is just too incredible!
Do you suppose he cruised today after getting behind early?
Plenty of time and action left to move up in the standings!
tommorow he just runs his pace. cant catch #1 or #2. they will have to make their own luck
How many more stages? The only way I see RG passing anyone else is if the VWs have problems.
well thats how we moved up today....other people troubles
3 left
Roma, Sainz today.
is that for real, Robby's 1hr18 mins off the overall?
