Stage 8

7. Januar 2006

Today one day before the much earned Sunday off the special stage is 508km in length. “Today, there won’t be too much navigation, less dune crossings but spectacular sceneries.” Its a easy to navigate stage, no dunes and a variety of landscapes. It will be high speed stage.

There was talks about canceling today’s stage because of the poor finishing rate of stage 7 but ultimately that’s not the case. Stage 8 will be races but the start time got delayed. The fist car will leave the line at 10:45 European Time.

Mark and Dirk despite the crash are still positioned well in the overall points.
