STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3: TERMAS DE RIO HONDO > SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY

Connection 349km | Special Stage 314km | Total 663km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The format is tighter for the day’s race against the clock... as are the mountain tracks featuring in the special section. Experts in sliding and on the road will be able to showcase their skills here, as long as they stay constantly focused. Those hunting down the leaders will be on high alert during this route, which has been designed for opportunists. But the programme could also be transformed by any rain: even the strongest competitors do not necessarily perform well on heavy ground.

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

Looks like RG jumped a ton of spots today, but crazy man Sainz made a huge jump as well.

Looks like today was a good day to take a mulligan and start up front.
Course fell apart.

Well played for Sainz Roma and Pons

Yeah that seems like every day. Does RG have those still? If so what spot would he get pushed to?

He still has his.
I think the front 10 keep their spot and mulligans start after that.
Is this correct Mike?

True for RG but for Sainz Pons and Roma it was a great time

If they started way back they would have not made up what they did in my opinion.
