COURSE OVERVIEW

It was a painful experience for many competitors when they discovered the area last year. At the beginning of the special stage, the dunes follow one another, each one like the next, strung out in a never-ending desert capable of unsettling the best technical specialists. In the opposite direction, Stéphane Peterhansel and “Nani” Roma, both of whom are masters when it comes to crossing dunes, each lost almost fifteen minutes there, and risked missing out on the first two places of the overall standings. And the level of difficulty will be even more demanding this year! During the crucial stage of the first week, the rally will be even tougher for motorcyclists: they will quail on a 2-km slope, of which the gradient will put the descent of Iquique on a par with a gentle children’s slide.

This will now show what kind of team RGM is. Bring is back and work on it all night and then win some stages. Lets hope he can get back in time.

Sainz still hasn't made it to the finish; probably close to two hours down himself now

He will start so far behind Nassar he will be of no help to him tomorrow.

Is Robby under his own power or is he being towed?

all good not being tow

That would be one fast tow.

You right.....should have done the math. Took Nasser 13min to go from CK1 to CK2, and Robby 16min.
