COURSE OVERVIEW

The Fiambala dunes have become one of the decisive stages of the Dakar. This year, they feature at the heart of the most critical rally sequence, when drivers and their vehicles will have to demonstrate their aptitude for extreme endurance. Moreover, the day’s stage presents the longest dune section in the shared history of the Dakar and Fiambala, off-piste for most of the time. In short, an open door for desert specialists.

The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

You would think getting hit by a truck would give them a viable reason to miss wp's, but it is the ASO

I agree Speed. He was a great teammate and wouldn't overdrive it. Robby on the other hand.... but that is why we love Robby. He pushes it and if Sheldon did overdrive it a bit, I can't see Robby having a problem with it.

I agree Barb, besides I thought Sheldon was given the reins to have at it the 2nd half. Either way he did a great job and will be great for RGM in the future
