STAGE 5: SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY > UYUNI
Connection 315km | Special Stage 327km | Total 642km
COURSE OVERVIEW
All round vigilance is required for this second part of the marathon stage: in addition to managing mechanics, particularly the tyres, all the drivers will have to pay attention to their own bodies’ reactions. Entry into Bolivia is also marked by an abrupt increase in altitude, rising to 4,600m –the higher point in Dakar’s story- during the day’s special section. Technically, it is also in this stage that the rally steps up a gear, with the first off-piste sections as well as some navigational gems which might be a headache for some navigators…
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

That's what I'm thinking - Robby does not bluff. As well, I'm fine if in the end, Robby decides to race again in 2017. I will give him a "moment of discouragement." - being the generous guy that I am.
But this is a new tune for Robby. Until this one sentence, Robby has always been eager to go it again. Whatever the set back along the way, Robby has always believed that he just needed a little good luck, and he'd have a good run.
We shall see. Nasser says the word Pug 15 times in his latest post race quote. He's in awe.
I do not think his heart was in NASCAR. Dakar on the other hand is a drug for him.
See he lives for this.....Next year that statue will have a Gordini on it.
News flash Robby Gordon's chase crew spotted packed up and are heading home.....Robby was blowing off steam IMHO. Robby was part of a 60 million VW program he knows the odd's and challenge's for his small team......href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167909453?profile=original" target="_self">
