STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: LA RIOJA > SAN JUAN

Connection 281km | Special Stage 431km | Total 712km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The level of difficulty remains the same, but variety will favour the most flexible of drivers and teams. Sand in all its forms will feature, particularly fesh-fesh, the most volatile and heavy kind, which demands both dexterity and patience. But speed will also be an advantage in other, straighter sections, featuring gravel and pebbles. Opportunities will be few and far between, but there is still time to shake up the standings, since the terrain will be favourable to creating significant gaps.

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

Used to ride from our place in Lucerne for goat sandwiches at the Slash X. I was about 9 or 10. That seemed like a 1000 mile journey. That was in the mid '80's.
