STAGE 9 TRACKING


STAGE 9: BELEN > BELEN

Connection 111km | Special Stage 285km | Total 396km

COURSE OVERVIEW

This loop stage will not really be one for motorbikes and quad bikes, which will finish the first part of this second marathon stage in an isolated bivouac. Prior to this they will have spent the day, alongside the drivers in the other categories, almost entirely off-piste, both in the vegetation-scattered dunes and on harder terrains, sometimes on river beds. Physically, the day might prove to be a significant challenge, as the mercury soars. The hardiest drivers will also be those who are the most clear headed, able to make the right navigational choices, a major challenge of this special section.


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

If I win the powerball I'll buy one of the Gordinis if he doesn't need them next year.

If you want to buy one and can afford it he will work with you I am sure.

I think but but but.

Creed now showing thru CP1 in 33rd.

the 312 and 337 need to get through today so the crew can properly refurb them tonight. I cant believe they were able to fix everything in the short window they had last night.
