STAGE 9 TRACKING
STAGE 9: CALAMA > IQUIQUE
Connection 29km | Special Stage 422km | Total 451km
COURSE OVERVIEW
The 2014 Dakar will reach its most northern point in Iquique, where the competitors will see the ocean for the first time this year. Above all, the drivers and teams will discover the Atacama Dunes again after a first part of a special stage which will be rather tedious. Dune specialists will be in command over a distance of almost 150km. Thrills will be guaranteed at the very end of the day, on the last three kilometres of the descent to Iquique: there is more than a 30% difference in height from start to finish and it is almost not recommended to break. The law of gravitation takes on its full meaning: the bivouac is not far away!
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.
