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.

Maybe they need to limit team size to 2 vehicles.

I don't think that's the answer at all. Some do.

Do a 5 car stand still start and space those out 3 minutes...........you'll see a new kind of animal. .....stage position day to day starts.....you know rough up those nice clean edges.

Doesn't need fixing, we need to be better. There's something to the tortoise and the hare in this style of racing.
