Are they starting before KM 324 or at KM 324?

I thought km 324 was cp4 and they were starting there but after looking at the bike times on the tracker it don't look like they did. I must be missing something.

I am a little sad that today and tomorrow are the last times until the Baja that we get to follow RG run off-road. I realize that Laughlin is next weekend (almost got to go but didn't work out), and Parker? is sometime shortly there after? But tough to follow those in real time. Going to enjoy the next couple of days. Wish the stages this year could have been longer.. seems like Team Dakar USA did better in the longer runs.
