2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Jan 7th Dakar Rally Stage 5 Race Chat
Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 7, 2009 , right here and chat about the action during the 5th stage.Robby begins the day 9th overall in the standings.
Stage 5 - Wednesday, January 7
Neuquen > San Rafael
Connection: 173 km | Special: 506 km | Connection: 84 km | Total: 763 km
The major test of the first week of the race will perhaps be fought on the road to San Rafael. The long distance will oblige teams to remain concentrated at all times. The pilots will also be confronted with real dune passageways, including a range nearly twenty kilometers long. Long off-road stretches will alternate with much more technical sections in the track following the “rios”. The Cordillera can be seen on the horizon, but taking time to sightsee is out of the question: a too-late arrival at the bivouac always leaves a mark.

8 Minutes behind Depping at 170km. I believe Depping was 10th overall at the start of the day...one behind RG
Obviously something is wrong with timing on Spinelli.... -

On the plus said, Sainz has not posted through 170km yet...

Yeah, that could easily have been a flat. The timing makes sense. But that section of the course had a lot of sand as well, and it seems as though the Hummer just can't compete with the BMWs, VWs and Mitsubishi in that area

There, they've corrected timing......
