Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 8, 2009 , right here and chat about the action during the 6th stage.Robby sits in 7th overall,only 41 minutes back.


Stage 6 - Thursday, January 8
San Rafael > Mendoza
Connection: 76 km | Special: 395 km | Connection: 154 km | Total: 625 km
The day’s program is once again full of crossings, since the special begins with around sixty kilometers of dunes. The trail becomes easier in the second part, but competitors might well be slowed down by a wide ford that must be crossed with exceeding skill to avoid an extended bath. On arrival at Mendoza, the rally will penetrate the foothills of the Andes mountain range.

i found this awhile back on youtube this stuff is crazy....thought it would be intresting while we are waiting for updates

I would tie a set of bungee cords to that railing and jump off that in a second. Thanks for the video
Thrill seeker I am not, that's nuts!!!
Cool video, but nuts ;)
that was cool
Would that be considered off roading???
anybody getting anything on their tracker i think mine is messed up??
just looks like a very slow stage for the cars. bikes got thru in a hurry
Yeah must be a real short one. first 10 bikes are done
11:36 - Bike - 1st special stage victory for Despres

Now that the first 10 bikes have finished the day’s special stage, Frenchman Cyril Despres (KTM) has provisionally picked up his first stage victory on the 31st edition, and his 17th on the Dakar, 2.09 and 5.15 ahead of Spaniards Marc Coma (KTM) and Jordi Viladoms respectively.
Could not pay me enough to do that trail.

Last I heard, they were going to sink money into refurbishing it, and then open it back up to the public. (It is closed, the people in the video have broken in)
first 2 our thru. 27 seconds apart
times are commin in now
ouch
