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.

IT has been said repeatedly here that the penalty was NOT for the tow.

There are times that you concentrate so much on the competition and the course that you beat your self by not paying attention to the basics.

ASO enforcing "double secret probation" which gives them unlimited power! ha, good reference plimp

It just really pisses me off! Come on ASO, no one was going to catch your precious PUGS, no need to throw out 1 hour penalties... I can see 5-10 minutes but seriously, to an elite driver! Would never happen to any of the French, Nassar or even El Matador!

Is there an appeal process with ASO or is this it?
