Jan 15th Dakar Rally Stage 12 Race Chat

Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 15, 2009,right here and chat about the action during the 12th stage.Robby sits 5th in the overall standings,and will roll off second for stage 12.

Stage 12 - Thursday, January 15

Fiambala > La Rioja

Connection: 4 km | Special: 253 km | Connection: 261 km | Total: 518 km
As concerns crossings, the day’s special is a concentrate of technique. Various types of dunes will be encountered, including the very formidable “white dunes”. Just three days from arrival, this stage can scramble rankings, especially because the assistance vehicles will not have access to the Fiambala bivouac. The Golden Rule is still: “know how to economize your machine”.

Imagine Robby's response to team orders if he was in Mark's shoes.

I don't think Mark's response will be much different. More like "Oh yeah, no problem, I'll carry your water...........snicker snicker." as he walks away " MF'er better be quick enough to get it"

He turned down 1 million bucks for 2005...So you are way off base.

When he was on the VW team he did follow orders. He could have likely picked up 3-4 stage wins but tagged long as Juttas bitch and got her on the podium

did she wear the boots and have a whip? 'change der tire Robby, schnell'

"Change Der Steering Box" was her command. Her car broke steering, and Robby stopped, ripped his out and replaced it before their service car even got there.

Yes, but Robby wasn't 2 minutes behind at that time. Mark is just two minutes behinf right now. My bet is if Robby was just two minutes behind at the time he came along Juda, her navigator would be saying "how come your whip is stuck in your a$$?"
