STAGE 12 TRACKING


STAGE 12: TERMAS DE RIO HONDO > ROSARIO

Connection 726km | Special Stage 298km | Total 1024km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Dakar will spend the night near the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit, which regularly hosts the Argentine rounds of the GP and WTCC motorbike championships. But the Dakar’s competitors are set for a long cross-country journey, battling it out in this tension-packed penultimate day. A combative driver could still shake up the leaders’ positions even at this stage. And drivers who become too distracted could be caught by surprise by the surrounding vegetation!

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

Well the slowest of 7 so far is 26:00 and I would hope he beats that.

Nasser and Devillers will both be conservative. This stage will probably go to Terranova for the home crowd. If he makes a mistake, maybe Peterhansel or RG. Lets hope the front end is ok after the wreck so he can compete for it.

Good start for Ten Brinke. He deserves it after grinding on for 3+ years in a FORD/ Mitsibushi (?) together with Van Loon with good speed but no reliability. The first year with good equipment both perform very good even though Ten Brinke had one bad stage where he lost plus 1,5 hours due to losing his brake's which are pretty crucial in Dakar.
