STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: IQUIQUE > ANTOFAGASTA

Connection 58km | Special Stage 631km | Total 689km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The special stage, split into two sections with very different features, will begin with the descent towards the shores of the Pacific. The advance gained in the stage the day before may will be increased in the sand during the first two hundred kilometres. Even more skill will be required to tackle the sections of fesh-fesh in the second part of the stage. Once this difficult area is behind the drivers, they will all be delighted to twist and wind along the region’s mine tracks, and in particular to be welcomed by the majestic arch of La Portuda, a stone’s throw from the bivouac in Antofagasta.

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

no se supone que en las dunas el HST era veloz, anteriormente se quejaban ue el terreno tierra y piedra no era para el HST, al menos de WP a WP debería de marcar alguna diferencia, si nos damos cuenta siempre va perdiendo tiempo, ya estamos a a mas de la mitad de la carrera y ese motor del HST no esta funcionando, no digamos como TOG ese motor esta poniéndose recién a punto, por dios ese HST no es un buen prototipo

Yep he's out; suffered a bad leak to his fuel cell, and couldn't get it repaired enough in time to start this morning's stage.
