STAGE 11 TRACKING


STAGE 11: Arica > Arequipa

Connection 120km | Special Stage 478km | Total 598km


COURSE OVERVIEW

For the Dakar's first day in their country, Peruvians will be entitled to two special stages and additional kilometres for the motorcyclists. After a day spent switching between off-piste sections and areas interspersed with rivers, they will benefit from a moment of camaraderie?: a specific bivouac will be set up for them before they continue exploring Peru. The concept, which had not been tried out again since the camp of Foum Zguid in Morocco during the 2007 Dakar, will also create a major obstacle which will affect the management of the race. The assistance vehicles will not be authorized in the maintenance area, where only the motorcyclists and quad riders will be able to help each other.

I was eating my freedom fries and it dawned on me, get Jerry Lewis down to Peru quick.
Send me a message if you don't get that and we'll keep it our little secret.

they haven't listed start times for any of them, but I am thinking the special section begins at 6:03am/et for Robby Gordon.

Feel so bad for RG, hopefully he has a great day tomorrow morning. Either way this plays out, it is great to see what RGM is capable of as a team
