STAGE 1 TRACKING


STAGE 1: ROSARIO > SAN LUIS

Connection 629km | Special Stage 180km | Total 809km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will wake up early to set off along the road in the region of Cordoba and start the race on some narrow tracks which will require the utmost vigilance. Each one will still be very fresh allowing them to tackle the stony sections or the blind jumps serenely. The competitors’ driving skills will be rewarded at the finish, where they will have already clocked up 800 kilometres. Although the gaps will not be significant at this stage of the race, it is nevertheless important to maintain their position in the part of the standings that they are aiming for!

 

 The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Chicherit (jefferies buggy), Lucio Alvarez (toyota), RG, and Chabot still stuck at CP1 according to the Dakar timing and scoring

I think Chicerits ride is still under Vigarouxs name and it is in after Baldwin.

One of the bike riders interview had said there were a lot of slippery roads with steep cliffs

Another year of hopeing for stage wins is just a bit depressing to me.
I know you will all say I suck for being negative but I had to say it.
