STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: LA RIOJA > SAN JUAN

Connection 281km | Special Stage 431km | Total 712km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The level of difficulty remains the same, but variety will favour the most flexible of drivers and teams. Sand in all its forms will feature, particularly fesh-fesh, the most volatile and heavy kind, which demands both dexterity and patience. But speed will also be an advantage in other, straighter sections, featuring gravel and pebbles. Opportunities will be few and far between, but there is still time to shake up the standings, since the terrain will be favourable to creating significant gaps.

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

Good point, not sure what kind of RPM's they would be set up to make power at altitude? Definitely don't need 8,000rpm! Seems like when i look at past years videos, he appears to be pushing it harder, maybe just getting smoother. Sill seems that making more power would be lower in priority at this point in the program. But its all guessulation for me, hopefully we'll hear more about it from you guys in the know.

Does it have a 39mm restrictor when you 'ran' against a Lexus 5.0l with a 37mm restrictor ? I'm guessing not so much

If a stale croissant could talk it would sound like the woman that narrates the Dakar stage recaps.
