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.

I'm so pissed they chopped this stage in half. We didn't need that!

Yeah, it seems like they could have detoured to a bridge crossing - with speed limits on public roads if need be - in order to get around the flooded river and continue the stage.

From what I was able to research missing a way point in Dakar has been usually a 2 or 3 hour time addition..

With the penalty RG should be in 6th O/A and have 40-100 minutes on 7th.
