Jan 8th Dakar Rally Stage 6 Race Chat

Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 8, 2009 , right here and chat about the action during the 6th stage.Robby sits in 7th overall,only 41 minutes back.


Stage 6 - Thursday, January 8
San Rafael > Mendoza
Connection: 76 km | Special: 395 km | Connection: 154 km | Total: 625 km
The day’s program is once again full of crossings, since the special begins with around sixty kilometers of dunes. The trail becomes easier in the second part, but competitors might well be slowed down by a wide ford that must be crossed with exceeding skill to avoid an extended bath. On arrival at Mendoza, the rally will penetrate the foothills of the Andes mountain range.

A one hour penalty would put AL ATTIYAH 6th overall - one spot ahead of Robby.

Agreed. Is there precedence for how the sanctioning body handles this?

Mark Miller "Somebody should have Pictures of Robby and I in the dunes nearly touching". I think Robby was giving mark a hard time. pretty funny.

I love it! He must have been frightened seeing the big black and green monster all over him.
