STAGE 2 TRACKING

STAGE 2: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > TERMAS DE RIO HONDO

Connection 337km | Special Stage 521km* | Total 858km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The statistics speak for themselves: with around 800 kilometres to cover depending on the category, the day will be very long. There is a significant distance to cover in both the special and the liaison sections: although the terrain presents no real difficulties, the relatively fast tracks may already benefit those who love hills and crossing rivers and who can keep up high speeds over the whole distance. Cars and trucks are entitled to an extension on this day.

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

From WP3 to WP4 either Nasser lost 2+ Minutes or Brinke gained that much on him...

Any word on Robby. I have not seen an update on he or Creed and am wondering if something is up and maybe Creed is helping him get things fixed. Or, maybe my tracker is not updating. But, I think he should have been through WP3 by now.

Damn mud can really ruin some shit!
