STAGE 4 TRACKING


STAGE 4: SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY > SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY

Connection 201km | Special Stage 418km | Total 619km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Marathon 1: No Mechanics! On many levels, the competitors face their first real test here. The special section takes place at an average of 3,500m altitude, with incessant changes in pace resulting from alternating sandy and rocky terrain. This grueling route will be on the agenda when everyone already has 2,500km in the saddle or bucket seat, which is already exhausting for the lower placed drivers. First and foremost, this is the start of a very particular marathon stage, with a closed area for the vehicles... and for the competitors.

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

Just in from work. What do we know? How are the boys doing today? Did RG actually receive the huuuge penalty? Inquiring minds want to know.

The PUGS are just fast this year, no doubt... $100 million budget helps.

Mini's have to be concerned.

Agree - Al-attiyah has got to be worried... You know he stands on it, love him or hate him so it shows how fast the PUGS are...
Same for RG- Man I would just LOVE to see one SS where he is fastest !
