STAGE 10 TRACKING


STAGE 10: IQUIQUE > ANTOFAGASTA

Connection 58km | Special Stage 631km | Total 689km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The special stage, split into two sections with very different features, will begin with the descent towards the shores of the Pacific. The advance gained in the stage the day before may will be increased in the sand during the first two hundred kilometres. Even more skill will be required to tackle the sections of fesh-fesh in the second part of the stage. Once this difficult area is behind the drivers, they will all be delighted to twist and wind along the region’s mine tracks, and in particular to be welcomed by the majestic arch of La Portuda, a stone’s throw from the bivouac in Antofagasta.

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

from email recap....."The radiator temperature suddenly increased causing the HST Gordini come to a sudden halt just 20 kilometers from the finish. After stopping, the vehicle would then got stuck in the very soft sand ultimately dropped TEAM SPEED out of the top-10, 1 hour and 59 minutes behind Stage winner Stephan Peterhansel."

I'm a Robby fan here in Scotland! 5th at every CP/WP yesterday but bad luck struck again! Hope today is his day.

Yeah, he was in solid position the whole race. That is Dakar though, and why I like to follow it. I just hope it bites someone else today and not Robby.
