COURSE OVERVIEW
The dunes are majestic in this part of the country. They will ensure suspense to the very end about who will be the winners and how they will be placed on podium. At the same time, the drivers who are less in a hurry must take nothing for granted even if they are beginning to think about the relief of reaching the finish. They will also have to negotiate a significant number of strings of dunes, avoid confusing valleys which appear to be similar but are in fact different, and fight off the inevitable fatigue after the thousands of kilometres covered. Here every one of the competitors will remember what extreme endurance means here.

Team orders... Robby is fast but the press will say the minis are cruising and conceding the order ... Just venting .. just have a feeling on how the rest of the rally press will play out.

Well that's about the deal. Peter and Roma don't have any reason to press that hard. In no other race does the old adage "to finish first you must first finish" hold more true than Dakar. The Toy in 3rd...same thing. Just go steady and hope somebody falls.
After yesterday Rob better take as much advantage of the situation as he can. He opened his mouth up wide enough to fit both feet inside. A pair of sandy shoes tastes pretty bad. He'll look the man if he wins out. He'll look the fool if he doesn't.

Who am I? I'm a card carrying Planet member. But I'm also a realist and nothing I said isn't the plain and honest truth.
