STAGE 13 TRACKING


STAGE 13: Nasca > Pisco

Connection 100km | Special Stage 275km | Total 375km


COURSE OVERVIEW

The dunes are majestic in this part of the country. They will ensure suspense to the very end about who will be the winners and how they will be placed on podium. At the same time, the drivers who are less in a hurry must take nothing for granted even if they are beginning to think about the relief of reaching the finish. They will also have to negotiate a significant number of strings of dunes, avoid confusing valleys which appear to be similar but are in fact different, and fight off the inevitable fatigue after the thousands of kilometres covered. Here every one of the competitors will remember what extreme endurance means here.

Ah. No worries. Looks like a solid 4th or 5th overall. Stage 11 is what killed it. He's driving these last few only to win stages. Not what was hoped for, but a damn good performance.

1st start (GMT-3) : 6:55 AM
After doing a somersault earlier on, the American continued the stage at low speed. He has now stopped at km 221 to repair a flat tyre...

Do you have an overall on how Jonny feals about the experience he has had with Robby?

Have to figure out something about the alternator next year. Regardless it would have been a boring Dakar without RG.
