STAGE 4 TRACKING
STAGE 4: SAN JUAN > CHILECITO
Connection 211km | Special Stage 657km | Total 868km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The strategy of the motorcyclists will come into play: initially their navigational skills will be seriously tested at the beginning of the morning, and then they will be faced with the problem of worn tyres, as they have already been over-used the day before. As for the drivers of cars, they will have an even more demanding route to tackle in the countryside. The Dakar’s competitors haven’t faced a special stage this long since the historical one from Zouerat to Tichit in 2005! They will have to cross rivers, descend the canyons in a Wild West setting and beware of the other participants: as these terrains are often wide open, it will be entirely possible to overtake fellow competitors.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Not everyone who is running up front has come thru, I would say he is holding steady!

Work got in the way. Can someone summerize the events and where we are so I don't have to read through 29 pages?

he started later in the stage, so his times never showed up until later on the earlier updates.
