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.

Good morning all!! Fingers crossed for a good day!!

Mucha suerte!

I hope it's not terminal. I wouldn't mind seeing him do well.

10:27 - bike

005 - Chaleco falls

Francisco Lopez has fallen after 211 km of the special. The incident took place in the bed of a dried up river. The rider is okay, but the same cannot be said of his bike.

Tweets suggest Chaleco is a withdrawal. :-(

It looks like a really fast course in the opening sections. The times are really quick for the distance covered.

the sun will be up here in about an hr. and a half RG off soon and I just popped the top on my solidarity can of SPEED have a winning day RG TGIF

It would be nice for people like us following online if they could fix the tracker for DeVilliers. He's the Phanotom of the Dakar.

It is amazing the ghost of DeVillier can be seen by the almight ASO but not us I feel so inferior

RG luck, have a super good day, going for the victory of step

Lets have a good run today

Other than the penalty we seem to be getting better everyday.

according to DAKAR tracker RG is underway
