Jan 13th Dakar Rally Stage 10 Race Chat

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.

Look at it this way. He almost won stage and let VW, BMW and Mitsui know that the US TT is to be reckoned with. Secondly he closed the gap on 4th and we have to wait to see by how much. He also let Mark know that Robby is the desert driver. Robby is again starting before the other 3 factory Tourag's and the Mitsui again tomorrow. Lastly, the Hummer is still in one piece and he didn't break anything today.
