STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: ANTOFAGASTA > EL SALVADOR

Connection 144km | Special Stage 605km | Total 749km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

In addition to the distance, here the competitors will be put to the test by all the difficulties offered by the Atacama Desert… and will have to display all the qualities required for off-road races. After the mine tracks and the many rivers to cross, the competitors will have to distinguish themselves in the heart of the Dunes of Copiapo: the fastest motorcyclists are expected to spend seven hours behind the wheel. Needless to say that on this decisive day there will be no shortage of opportunities for competitors to make a winning comeback in the race. This will be the key stage of the 2014 edition.

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

12:09 Cars: The gaps are opening after 201 km

Nasser Al-Attiyah is still in front in the car special, now with a lead of 4’38' over Stéphane Peterhansel. The third placed driver Nani Roma had moved in front of the Frenchman but has now dropped back to third place, 6’11” behind the Qatari. In light of the fact that there was talk of race instructions demanding the drivers to hold their positions this morning from Mini, the losses and gains of the various competitors are difficult to decipher… At present, Stéphane Peterhansel only has a lead of 42' in the virtual general standings.
