STAGE 11 TRACKING
STAGE 11: ANTOFAGASTA > EL SALVADOR
Connection 144km | Special Stage 605km | Total 749km
COURSE OVERVIEW
In addition to the distance, here the competitors will be put to the test by all the difficulties offered by the Atacama Desert… and will have to display all the qualities required for off-road races. After the mine tracks and the many rivers to cross, the competitors will have to distinguish themselves in the heart of the Dunes of Copiapo: the fastest motorcyclists are expected to spend seven hours behind the wheel. Needless to say that on this decisive day there will be no shortage of opportunities for competitors to make a winning comeback in the race. This will be the key stage of the 2014 edition.
The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.
