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.

Gee I wonder if they told Price or they are just gonna let him finish the whole day and then tell him it was stopped at CP2 after he arrives at the finish like they did last time.

Jus looked at the bike results. So If they stop it at CP2 then Price wins the stage, even though he was second at the original finish?

LOEB TOWED HOME BUT IN FRONT OR PETERPUFFER

Sébastien Loeb has experienced an eventful end to the stage. Halted several kilometres from the finishing line, due to a broken gimbal, he found help in the form of his team-mate Cyril Despres who he had just overtaken several kilometres before. Towed to the end of the timed section, in the end Loeb has finished 2'13'' ahead of Stéphane Peterhansel. Incredible!
