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.

Last year you could lose 9m 29s per stage and finish 3rd. After 2 real stages he is allowed 18M 58S. The 312 is at 27:25 so he is over that allocation by 8M27S. If it mirrors last year he needs to average 8m:38s back of the stage winner for the rest of the raid. He can lose 1H 24M 30 seconds total
