Jan 15th Dakar Rally Stage 12 Race Chat

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”.

WOW! Just arrived at work due to difficulties driving in 6 inces of snow. This is great! Could win a stage and move into 3rd before it is over today!

If there is no tracking at 164KM, then it will be over an hour before we find out if RG passed Miller for the lead.. the suspense is killing me..

Good morning crew... was lurking earlier, got all the chores done, now here in the office.
It's a balmy -3* outside, but I warmed up fast hearing about Sainz mis-fortune.

Another drink for Jobu please!

I kinda doubt that, but it's possible. Given the run they've had this year I'd have to think that it really is something serious or they wouldn't have given up this late in the game.
