STAGE 6 TRACKING

STAGE 6: TUCUMAN > SALTA

Connection 270km | Special Stage 424km | Total 694km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Once they have left Tucuman, the cars will head north and drive along part of the renowned Ruta 40, and continue on in the heart of one of Argentina’s most beautiful landscapes. The possibilities to widen the gap will be limited but the most skilled drivers may be able to seize the opportunity of adding a stage to their list of wins. A new trip to the mountains will take motorcyclists to the banks of the rivers. They will have to remain vigilant until the very end of the stage as the region is frequented to a great extent by animals of all sizes. Then they will finally be able to rest.

The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Let's keep in mind today just how far there is to go in this rally. After 5 stages completed there are already 51 cars out, 82 bikes are out (nearly half the field), half of the 40 quads are gone already and 14 trucks have bitten the dust. This is going to be a test of endurance to the end. I still think if RG just keeps going then the field will come back to him and positions will be gained, and the more stages the HST gets then all the better prep for next year.
