STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: CHILECITO > TUCUMAN

Connection 384km | Special Stage 527km | Total 911km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

After two race days with completely separate routes, everyone will gather together to tackle the longest stage of the rally. They will need to be extremely resistant to overcome these two sections of the special stage which will primarily feature sand. All day long the competitors will make headway on off-piste sections: those who have poorly assessed the limits of their engine will constantly be on the verge of overheating and all the more so, as the region’s temperatures are generally very high. At the bivouac in Tucuman, the candidates for the podium will have been whittled down to a select few, as many of them will no longer be a part of this elite group. For many others, their timing and mechanical mishaps will only become apparent in the middle of the night.

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

Well.. french dakar says that Peterhansel has followed Sainz's tracks.

In its turn, Stephane Peterhansel has fallen into the trap of the Km 162, the trace of its route, such as that of Carlos Sainz, shows many hesitations
