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.

guess WP7, wp8, and wp9 were really tough, lots of people lost over an hour. BJ Baldwin did good time, alvarez who was behind Gordon at WP6 and 10 minutes behind BJ has reached the finish in 5:20:51, so another hour, hour and half till RG reaches the finish

No sarcasm.

Top 25 overall? I think it's possible, but at this point, I only care about a trouble-free stage for the HST.

than I have to ask (since it wasn't sarcasm) how can anyone predict when we have no idea what happened today.
