STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: COPIAPO > ANTOFAGASTA

Connection 239km | Special Stage 458km | Total 697km

COURSE OVERVIEW

This is the first of the rare special stages in which all categories will compete. At the start of the race, the most confident drivers will be able to take advantage of the fast tracks to try to move up in the overall standings. But the temptation to do so may be risky, particularly in the hard-to-handle fesh-fesh areas where absolute self-control is the only guarantee of success. Overtaking here requires precision handling to the extreme.



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

LA LUCHA DE SAINZ Y RG ESTAN JUNTOS EN EL CAMINO

How come there is no talk about Yazeed and Robby? It appears that this guy can drive fairly well, I know the Toyotas got a nice HP bump this year, but it seems like it would have been great to see Yazeed team up with Robby.

According to TOG in this stage discussion TOG mentioned the RG has said Yazeed has mad skills.

WP6? Now?

Stage 5 UPDATE: Top 5 at KM225 of 458

1) Vasilyev
2) Alrajhi +6m12s
3) Roma +7m26s
4) Al-Attiyah +9m4s
5) Peterhansel +9m30s

6) GORDON +10m6s

For now, I'll list Vasilyev as the leader, although I still believe he shortcut to an earlier waypoint.

Rob, I see 7th for WP6

should be at cp7 around 1:30p eastern if no probs
