STAGE 13 TRACKING

STAGE 13: VILLA CARLOS PAZ > ROSARIO

Connection 519km | Special Stage 180km | Total 699km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Aspiring winners will certainly be those who find the 180km of the day’s special section the most difficult, designed with twisty, undulating routes, faster sandy and rocky sections… leading to significant levels of stress. For most of the others, the 699km to be covered before reaching the podium in Rosario will be a relief. To be enjoyed without moderation…

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

Did the motorcycle rider find his helmet that mysteriously disappeared?

Thanks! Just looked it up, finished 84th. Dropped from 20th to 42nd in overall. It's a shame something so bizarre ruined his rally.

I hope Robby gets his stage win today, Poulter and Hirvinon are minutes appart and will be flat out too
How the hell did Hirvonan win the stage yesterday, Poulter won 9 stages and beat him in 10 of the 12 stages with 1 to 2 minutes and ended up slower and lost on overall time to Hirvonan,but every body seems happy with the results☺
