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.

there's a highlight?
Got a laugh out of me Mike, thanks
Your facetious detector is fully operational.
I got a chuckle too!
+1 sarcasm meter optimal LOL
My happy face will turn upside-down into a frown ... when I see the late-start time penalty Robby will probably be assessed.
Was the hold up at the start over heating or did it have anything to do with the tracker problem? If it was the tracker I can't imagine a penalty.
MIKE LOL
Maybe RG will throw his helmet.
I think it's finish for the overall. 2h08 of delay for the south america dakar is too big. But top 10 still realistic.
