Jan 16th, 2016 Dakar Rally Stage 13 Race Info & Discussion

Join in and discuss all the action from Stage 13 of the 2016 Dakar Rally. This is the final stage of the rally. Thank you all for supporting the planet, and hope to see you back next year. Robby Gordon start time: 7:02am/et,


STAGE 13 TRACKING


STAGE 13: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > ROSARIO

Connection 519km | Special Stage 180km | Total 699km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Aspiring winners will certainly be those who find the 180km of the day’s special section the most difficult, designed with twisty, undulating routes, faster sandy and rocky sections… leading to significant levels of stress. For most of the others, the 699km to be covered before reaching the podium in Rosario will be a relief. To be enjoyed without moderation…

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

RDC is saying because Robby didn't show up at podium cause he went to the accident it's considered a withdrawal

I certainly hope aforementioned support driver is ok. In the grand scheme of things finishing position is unimportant when it comes to the safety of friends and family.

Me too from what I've been able to piece together from RDC , Twitter and other sources , one of Robbys support vehicles flipped and was stopped on the side of the road and they say the driver was really hurt, taken to the hospital rg not involved but he never showed up at the podium RDC's Klaus said they talked to the team. There where injuries but everyone walks away. It was a little bit frightening to hear about the support vehicles accident but things have reached the "stable" status and everyone involved will be fully recovered. As we know more perhaps we can talk more about it. Robby elected to stay with his crew through this incident and missed the podium so they're saying Robby was considered withdrawn from the rally cause he didn't finish the stage

Site isn't running slow.

We had issues with not being able to post, but site speed, no.

Sorry for the misunderstanding by slow I meant it was letting me post stuff just took awhile for it to load it not instantly like normal . Doesn't matter just wanted to know what's REALLY going on with the crew and Robby . As long as everyone is ok .

Yeah totally agree ASO screwed the pooch this year but Robby wasn't gonna podium anyway so I guess it don't matter either way . Family , friends and crew are MOST IMPORTANT .

Yep, doesn't really matter either way, which is why the ASO shouldn't have done it. Any other time, stopping to help others doesn't count against you and you get time back.
Robby did the right thing, ASO didn't.
