STAGE 2 TRACKING

STAGE 2: SAN LUIS > SAN RAFAEL

Connection 365km | Special Stage 433km | Total 798km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The fastest special stage of the rally, at least for its first part, will also be the one where drivers will have to face the first dunes. And it won’t just be a brief encounter with sand: in the last 100 kilometres, the exploration of the grey dunes of Nihuil will be even more intensive than during previous visits. The sand is more firm there, but the experience will provide a great deal of insight about each of the competitors’ technical skills. In short it will be a veritable test.

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

300 - The victory to Peterhansel! Stephane Peterhansel has dominated this special in 3h52 ' 05" with 46" ahead of Carlos Sainz. The third is Nani Roma who just reappearing on the radar, with 7 ' 25" behind but subject to confirmation because he did not, for the moment of time in CP. Nasser Al-Attiyah would be fourth to 7 ' 39"
