Jan 12th Dakar Rally Stage 9 Race Chat

Join us for the Dakar Rally on Jan 12, 2009 , right here and chat about the action during the 9th stage

Stage 9 - Monday, January 12

La Serena > Copiapo
Connection: 88 km | Special: 449 km | Connection: 0 km | Total: 537 km
We are at the first step of a decisive trilogy. The reputation of the Atacama Desert, known as the world’s driest, will be tested by the competitors. Those who hope to find dunes will be rewarded. But they will also be fed a generous helping of rocks. This stage is typical of the Dakar 2009, with numerous changes of terrain. The positioning of difficulties, with long stretches of dunes at the end, will require pilots to conserve their strength. They must show themselves to be both multi-talented and with a firm sense of how to manage their efforts.

ok i am going to ask my question again since it is slow time. Dumb question though it may be
'Can Robby or Andy tell in the car how far they are back? does the GPS give them real time data ?

DUCkbutterCROUX through 218..........he must have missed the memo on the first 3 way points...........

He came through it in 1 hour 45 minutes..KM 218...funny because Miller was leading at 131 at 2 hours and 1 minute
