Jan 7th , 2011 Dakar Rally Stage 6 Race Info & Discussion

Stage 6 race discussion of the 2011 Dakar Rally. Eliseo Salazar begins his stage at 9:06am/et. Live raceday chat will be open all day too. Robby Gordon is not a scored competitor throughout the remainder of the rally.

 

STAGE 6: Iquique > Arica
Connection 265km | Special Stage 456km | Total 721km

Course Overview

The exploration of the Atacama Desert this year brings the Dakar participants to Arica, the last town before the Peruvian border. For this large slice of desert before the rest day, the menu is full of dunes, whose sizes increase as the day passes by. But throughout the special stage, the riders and drivers will experience an alternation of sensations. After surfing on the dunes, most of them will get to grips with the unavoidable zones of fesh-fesh, or “guadal” as they are known in this part of the world. For the section of slaloming between dust and dry grass, patience is the competitors’ best ally.

This is where Robby would have shone, chopping away the time deficit and moving up and up.

Oh well, next year.
