Jan 8th 2010 Dakar Rally Stage 7 Race Info & Discussion
Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 7 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.
STAGE 7: Iquigue > Antofagasta
Connection 37 km | Special Stage 600 km | Connection 4 km | Total 641 km
Course Overview
The longest special of the rally is also the most varied. When leaving Iquique, one always has regrets but the splendour of the landscapes will motivate the competitors just as much as the fun they will witness in the sand dunes they will have to swallow in the first part of the day. The ideal technique will be a lot harder to find when having to cross a salar, of around 3 kilometres. On this extent filled with huge blocks of dry salt, certainly never seen by most of the competitors, the speed will drop down to under 10 km/h! Once that's digested, the tracks heading to Antofagasta are, in majority, fast and open. The menu will be generous in terms of sand and kilometres. The rule book will allow the bikers and crews to reach the bivouac before 6:00 PM on the following day, during the rest day.

if BJ was being towed , he would only be 2 minutes behind RG. They are both under their own power , as a spare was brought by BJ

If RG needed somebody to jump or pull start them, any of the trucks would help out easily, so I don't think RG fixed it on his own.

Why would the competitors support trucks help us?

not certain but maybe it was a wiring issue and they were able to fix it. Or maybe they are really good and they rebuilt the alternator.
