STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3: SAN JUAN > CHILECITO

Connection 258km | Special Stage 284km | Total 542km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The pressure which competitors faced the day before (and late into the night for some of them), will partly ease off on the road to Chilecito. The shorter and less intense stage will allow them to enjoy their majestic surroundings. The red earth tracks, overlooking steep peaks and plunging down into canyons, will take the Dakar through one of the most beautiful regions of Argentina. But no-one should be tempted to sit back and enjoy the view, particularly on the motorcycle and quad bike routes which include some gruelling sections. With thousands of stones to be avoided, it will only take one to ruin this magnificent day!

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

From Dakar.com :
"For all the vehicles that spent the night on the route of the second special, the next few minutes will be crucial. The cut-off time to take starter’s orders for the third stage was set at 12:12 local time. Approximately fifty competitors have not been able to start so far…"

more from dakar.com ~ 34 cars were not able to start this morning, including the only 100% female crew on the Dakar, the pink Isuzu 4x4 Isuzu driven by Catherine Houlès and Sandrine Ridet.


I think their math is off a little bit.
