STAGE 13 TRACKING


STAGE 13: Nasca > Pisco

Connection 100km | Special Stage 275km | Total 375km


COURSE OVERVIEW

The dunes are majestic in this part of the country. They will ensure suspense to the very end about who will be the winners and how they will be placed on podium. At the same time, the drivers who are less in a hurry must take nothing for granted even if they are beginning to think about the relief of reaching the finish. They will also have to negotiate a significant number of strings of dunes, avoid confusing valleys which appear to be similar but are in fact different, and fight off the inevitable fatigue after the thousands of kilometres covered. Here every one of the competitors will remember what extreme endurance means here.

how does the weather look for this stage?

with yesterday's butt whipping, I hope we don't have to shorten the route to save face for Froggy....

can you imagine what the time differential might have been, if the entire route was run?

Now, if the minis could just get stuck for an hour and break an arm or two, then we might get podium position.

Good morning TOG. It's very apparent that everyone in the Gordon camp is working hard and kicking ass. Thank you for all your hard work and dependability for PlanetRobby during the 2012 Dakar. The Gordon camp rocks!! Here's to another solid day and results.
