STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: LA RIOJA > LA FIAMBALA

Connection 262km | Special Stage 219km | Total 481km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

It is very rare for nothing to happen in Fiambalà! And in 2012 rain ensured that this lethal white sand remained firm, allowing the vehicles of the Dakar to pass through this prime spot for getting blocked and for engines to overheat, without recoiling or stalling. These dunes with their very welcoming contours typically have a very unpleasant surprise in store for competitors. Everything is possible in Fiambalá, including in the new strings of dunes featured on the route. The third part of the rally will boast sand once again, and each person will have to adapt his driving and his general approach to the terrain: those who are less attentive will also risk making serious navigational mistakes which will cost them dearly.

Cars and Trucks stopped @ CP1

he weather conditions have deteriorated further than forecast and the dry river beds that cross the route today are in a state of torrential flood. The rally organisers have decided to stop the special for the cars and trucks. We await further news on the matter

Here we go again.... Will Robby get screwed again when he is leading?

We know that Robby would have been in conention for the stage win and maybe he will be awared the stage given his time through WP3, and the field that did not make it past WP1 will get Petersniffer's time. Robby won't win the overall so a day like this can simply be a moral victory anyway.
