2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Jan 7th Dakar Rally Stage 5 Race Chat
Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 7, 2009 , right here and chat about the action during the 5th stage.Robby begins the day 9th overall in the standings.
Stage 5 - Wednesday, January 7
Neuquen > San Rafael
Connection: 173 km | Special: 506 km | Connection: 84 km | Total: 763 km
The major test of the first week of the race will perhaps be fought on the road to San Rafael. The long distance will oblige teams to remain concentrated at all times. The pilots will also be confronted with real dune passageways, including a range nearly twenty kilometers long. Long off-road stretches will alternate with much more technical sections in the track following the “rios”. The Cordillera can be seen on the horizon, but taking time to sightsee is out of the question: a too-late arrival at the bivouac always leaves a mark.

Its the lead body on his car
There is nothing under breaking news about him yet, so maybe some minor delay. Still brings the top overall cars closer together! -

I work for TAG Heuer. My team mates in europe are doing the same thing as me, watching live tracking. Not much will be achieved in the 1st half of this month. C'mon Robby.

did they just go through the portion with the big climb? Maybe it is lack of power on the climb

No, it was just a portion of the course with more sand than the earlier portions
