STAGE 7 TRACKING


STAGE 7: SALTA > SALTA

Connection 230km | Special Stage 533km | Total 763km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

This mega loop with a 500-km long special stage on the agenda will test the teams’ ability to adapt to changes of pace. After stony terrains at the beginning of the day, some top speeds will be recorded in the second part of the stage, and then the drivers’ road techniques will be tested, and all of this at an average altitude of almost 3,500m. To end this highly emotional day, they will have to cross a vast salt flat extending over twenty or so kilometres: a straight stretch which will make the competitors’ heads spin.


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

On the bright side they didn't have to relocate to another biv so hopefully they were able to rest up some!

Robby seems to be in great shape, but I bet he will be wiped out at the end of this race.

Thanks Thomas

I wonder what this is all about!

The same can be said of the car category after Orlando Terranova was handed a 15-minute penalty for unsporting behaviour yesterday.

It is in the stage 7 report.

really what did he do ????

That is what I wonder.
I have no clue.
I will go with blocking that should start good rumors.

He bumped another motorcycle rider and they only gave him a 15min penalty.

Was that it?
So he was puffin peter.
Or I meen trying to be like peterpuffer.

See a bike in the way just run him over caues we drive MINI's

Makes you wonder how Peter didn't get any penalty
