The well track

For the rally’s longest special, stretches of dense dunes over twenty kilometres in length follow on from each other at the beginning and the end of the route. Between the two sandy stretches, driving will be over a fast, rocky track. At places, the track crosses large dunes which will have to be got round to stay on large, black-soil plateaux.

...and its again a reverse start.
With Chris only a few minutes behind Esteve, Cyril and Coma--and with the track burned in...and with lots of high speed stuff over a very long distance...this would be a stage he might even win. If he just joins that group of 4 and follows them in....it could be really good. But of course its a 600km stage and anything is possible. Just thinking out loud....

It's been stated that Robby is still going to continue on to Dakar, regardless of DQ'ing, the tracking is more than likely due to being required to follow the official route maybe? He is however, Officially out of the race.

has everyone found the face to face portions? it's just a bit of information on the folks who aren't at the top... a daily diet of 2 competitors and a bit of information on them.... each stage has two... so you can go back and read the earlier posts...
