STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: ANTOFAGASTA > IQUIQUE

Connection 392km | Special Stage 255km | Total 657km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The route will then climb up the Pacific coast towards Iquique. The motorcycles and quad bikes will cover a few extra kilometres as part of the special stage: a detour will take them into endurance-type terrain and onto mountain ridges with views over the sea. All the competitors will then explore the dunes which run alongside and dominate the coastline. But they won’t arrive at the bivouac via the famous descent. For the first time, the half-way point in the race will be marked on a podium in the centre of Iquique. The encounter between drivers and their fans will be emotional, following the earthquake which affected the region at the start of the year.

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

A win would have been great but still a nice finish. Nasser won't be able to keep up his pace without something going wrong. He will have to take it easy for the marathon stage since he won't be able to fix anything himself haha!

Cruella DeVille & Nani could still be spoilers, but it's looking good for a 2nd so far.

Anybody know if the drivers know where they stand during the stage? Or do they just find out at the end of the stage?

It shows standings as they go...
