Jan 10th 2010 Dakar Rally Stage 8 Race Info & Discussion
Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 8 of the 2010 Dakar Rally. Raceday chat will also be available throughout the entire 2010 Dakar Rally.
STAGE 8: Antofagasta > Copiapo
Connection 96 km | Special Stage 472 km | Connection 0 km | Total 568 km
Course Overview
The hundred kilometres or so of liaison will allow the competitors to leave an often foggy area, in order to launch the special in optimal visibility conditions. If the rest day has had its effect, the debates will resume on this penultimate stage in the Atacama. On rocky terrain during the first part, minutes will easily be lost in case of a mistake for a title contender. With the kilometres covered, the cruising pace should progressively increase until hitting more and more frequent dune zones as we close in on Copiapo. Those who want to enjoy the final panorama won't be able to slow down and take it easy: the stage will be long and the days are short.

Need Novitskiy to get stuck to get back into the top ten. We need 18' back on him.

Listening to Millers Audio interview sounds like everyone was having tire punctures. So it's not just Robby.

Devillers also had two punctures. I think we can definately leave the toyo tire issue alone now.
