Jan 7th 2010 Dakar Rally Stage 6 Race Info & Discussion
Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 6 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.
STAGE 6: Antofagasta > Iquique
Connection 180 km | Special Stage 418 km | Connection 0 km | Total 598 km
Course Overview
The efforts are equally spread out on the day's special. On the off-piste portion of the first third, the dust will push the competitors to be cautious. The larger and faster tracks that will be at the heart of the program will force those who are fighting for positions to maintain a fast pace. They will however need to keep a good amount of energy: indeed an African type erg awaits at the heart of a sandy portion of around fifty kilometres. But for the final part, the reward will be at the height of the difficulties. After having climbed a last dune, the competitors will take on a slide type sand downhill of close to three kilometres with Iquique and the waves of the ocean on the horizon. An unforgettable scene.

Think Robby and BJ are hooked up together now? Or is RG way ahead of him on course?

BJ had almost caught RG on course (12 minutes ahead on time). Maybe that was the plan, BJ run like hell to get to RG'sbumper and ride together. IAC he has now fallen back 12 minutes on course, about equal on time.
