STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: TUCUMAN > SALTA

Connection 270km | Special Stage 424km | Total 694km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

Once they have left Tucuman, the cars will head north and drive along part of the renowned Ruta 40, and continue on in the heart of one of Argentina’s most beautiful landscapes. The possibilities to widen the gap will be limited but the most skilled drivers may be able to seize the opportunity of adding a stage to their list of wins. A new trip to the mountains will take motorcyclists to the banks of the rivers. They will have to remain vigilant until the very end of the stage as the region is frequented to a great extent by animals of all sizes. Then they will finally be able to rest.

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

5:51am/pst is reasonable compared to the last two days
25th? is odd

Looks like Robby was given a 1hr penalty and will start 25th at 8:51est

He should start 24 based on how he finished post penalty. Not sure about the seeded driver rule. And if that will move him up a cpoule of spots.

You have to petition for reseat position, and you only get 3 for the raid. 25 is not as bad as 133rd. I say save it start 25 and go after it. Now the guys still in the hunt for OA, they have to use it.
