STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: CALAMA > SALTA

Connection 501km | Special Stage 359km | Total 860km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The motorcyclists and quad bikers will set off for their second marathon stage! After the Chile-Argentina border, this time the day’s special stage will start on the Salinas Grandes, more than 3,600m above sea level. The altitude should curb the competitors’ enthusiasm and cool down their engines. The more technical final phase will separate the toughest of them from the rest. For the liaison section, the route will then follow the Paso de l’Acay, at an altitude of 4,970m.



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

Hmmmm.....Interesting!

It's very clear that Robby needs a "Water Carrier" in order to succeed in DAKAR. TOG, a few years back Robby was renting a ride for 1.5 million. What would a ride rent for today?

but none of those guys carried his water,,, they were only there for themselves

Any video of Roma's misfortune?

Roma's rig has passed thru WP6

No doubt on a strap. Or a flatbed.

Looks like a crappy day at the bivouac

Holy shit ! Wow that sucks. Is this supposed to last long ?

The forecast is for thunderstorms in Salta and tomorrow's bivouac in Termas de Rio Hondo. Going to be a wet one.

And this is one of the most arid areas of Argentina!! The washes and normally dry river beds are going to be a real challenge.

Tomorrow, Robby's start time should be 11:52:30 local by my math
6:52:30 left coast time

Wow, I'll actually have the whole morning to get something productive done. Damn!
