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.

Are the trucks and cars on the same route and if so, where is CP2?

Tracking seems stuck

Tracker is either slow or a lot of drivers losing time. Looks that everyone in so far has averaged a -1:00 to Loeb between wp6-wpa

Anyone see nassar at finish?
Could he "as he is known to" have pushed too hard?

I only have the top 5 at the finish for the last five minutes or so

Yeah that prompted my last ?
Made up 5 to 6 then tracker took a dump.

CP2 might not be the only part of the course to have washed out, just speculation on my part
