STAGE 11 TRACKING

STAGE 11: ANTOFAGASTA > EL SALVADOR

Connection 144km | Special Stage 605km | Total 749km

COURSE OVERVIEW

In addition to the distance, here the competitors will be put to the test by all the difficulties offered by the Atacama Desert… and will have to display all the qualities required for off-road races. After the mine tracks and the many rivers to cross, the competitors will have to distinguish themselves in the heart of the Dunes of Copiapo: the fastest motorcyclists are expected to spend seven hours behind the wheel. Needless to say that on this decisive day there will be no shortage of opportunities for competitors to make a winning comeback in the race. This will be the key stage of the 2014 edition.

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

Good morning from windy Minnesota. Good race going on in bikes so far this morning, and it appears tracking is working perfectly. Here's to hoping RG and Co. have a trouble free day on this long stage. And the cars are off...

Too bad about Sainz's trouble. Only team left that I want to pull for, outside of RG of course, is DeVillers. He seems to put forth honest effort and is fast in his Toyota. Let's see what today has in store..
