Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 13, 2009,right here and chat about the action during the 10th stage

Stage 10 - Tuesday, January 13

Copiapo > Copiapo

Connection: 20 km | Special: 666 km | Connection: 0 km | Total: 686 km
The day’s special is simply the longest and most difficult of the rally. As on the previous day, the competitors will face a series of dunes at the end of the day that stretch over a hundred kilometers. And in this area, even the leading specialists will be faced with something new. The Chilean dunes are veritable mountains of sand, and pilots must learn to climb and descend their sides over more than one kilometer. Another unknown: due to the extreme heat of the region, no one knows exactly how the sand will behave. In any case, remaining clear-headed will be imperative all the way to the end.

Gordon stays in the lead but Sainz is closing in on him...
As the first 5 cars have now cleared CP5 located at km 423 of today’s special stage, although Robby Gordon (Hummer) still checks in the lead, the US driver only has 50" lead left on Spain’s Carlos Sainz (VW) who is closing in. However, the gap between him and Giniel De Villiers (VW), remains stable with the South-African still checking 2’51" behind the stage leader.
