Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 5 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.
STAGE 5: Copiapo > Antofagasta
Connection 90 km | Special Stage 483 km | Connection 97 km | Total 670 km
Course Overview
The area has a reputation for its density in gold and copper mines. And that will be the theme of the hard day the competitors will witness on the road to Antofagasta, as demanding physically as it will be mentally. The open but rocky tracks of the first part of the day won't leave the slightest respite in terms of staying focused. And the off-road portions that follow will request solidity at all points of view: it is indeed here that the competitors will have to battle it out in the fesh-fesh, known on this continent as 'guadal'. At the end of this stage where changes in pace will be numerous; the notion of endurance will start to have its real significance. The less cautious will have already committed mistakes.

I mean you have to feel for Andy, so much pressure when you are leading. If he messes up, Robby is going to give him hard time. I know how it feels like to be Andy.

Per Alan, he lost his 4 wheel drive. Q: What's worse in the soft sand than a Hummer with only 2 wheels pushing?
A: A Beamer with small tires and only 2 wheels pushing! -

I have a feeling that either Sianz or Nasser will have some kind of trouble in the upcoming stages, especially, Nasser. He is too hyper.
