Connection 566km | Special Stage 222km | Total 788km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

 

Most of the journey will have been made the day before, but the road section to the starting line of the first special stage is still long.Once the competitors have got down to the nitty-gritty, their engines  will start to heat up along a very quick portion.They will need to be  more and more technically proficient on a route that then becomes  mountainous.In order to limit the amount of overtaking on narrow tracks, a special route has been drawn up for bikes and quads in the middle of the stage.

Only 1:48 overall. doesn't seem to bad to me. You gotta remember this in only the first stage of a VERY long race. And you have to think he's feeling things out a little with the car before going balls-to-the-wall. 

 

I almost forgot about how much guessing this tracking creates. For all we know he missed one turn and is actually the fastest on the course. It's gonna be a great couple of weeks!!!

I get that. 1:48 by way point two is a ton. Like I said EARLY indications are the speed is not there. He may have had an issue...we'll see.
