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.

Roma has the overall for at least one more day. He still leads Peterhansel by only 2min15sec, Unbelievable.

I wonder what the closest margin of overall victory for the Dakar is? I know for the Tour De France it was only 8 seconds. Won by Greg LeMond of USA in 1989.

How the hell do you wreck the car in a neutralization? Pretty aggressive.
