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.

A little astronomical question. The sun is in the Southern hemisphere right ? So are the days longer like it is here in the summer?

"It's getting sour?" Yano, RG fans don't say such things! I challenge you, speak well of the cool last swallow of refreshing liquid in you're glass.

Fav movie line. After having it spelled out for him that he's doomed, and all odds are against him, the hero responds with, "You mean, I've got a chance!"

OK best I can figure its 5:30 there and it took Terranova 5+ hous for the stage , sunset is at 8:30 so he would be running in the dark at the end.

If there is any news, it will definitely be odd.

Well, assuming he does start the stage, with the little amount of bikes and cars that'll be in front of him, he should be able to haul a**.
