Stage Six on Dakar 2012 was cancelled due to snow and ice, so we move directly to catch the action from Stage Seven. The desert stage favoured the Hummers of Robby Gordon and Nasser Al-Attiyah who dominated the day and moved up the overall order as a result.

The Eurosport coverage is much much better if you can get a hold of it. It's too bad their streams aren't available to those of us in the Americas. They are out there for download though, thanks to JMLatvalaFan!
