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.

Yup. They're just losing to much time, almost a minute every stage won't cut it.

in 2015 you could lose 9 minutes a stage and place 3rd overall FWIW

23rd to 16th... good day. Not a great day. But a good day. Lots of days to be good and great left in this rally.

It looks like 24 in the ASS and RG is 16.

He was 16th at WP6, but got bumped to 17th...expect the same in the ASS. 17th on the day I'd expect.

From 12th on back look to have chunks of time between wp6-wpa, course must have gotten worst.
