STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: UYUNI > UYUNI

Connection 181km | Special Stage 542km | Total 723km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The longest special section of the Dakar takes place on the 6th day of consecutive racing. And that is not the only difficulty of this operation, which will take place between 3,500 and 4,200m in altitude. The pace and surfaces change constantly, alternating between sand and rock, which may be disconcerting, especially if it rains. Glimpses of the Salar d’Uyuni are but one of the visual delights on the agenda. Meanwhile, the truck category, which will race separately on this 6th stage, will visit the home town of the President Evo Morales.

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

Was just thinking that too Paul, Creed a little overdue, could be giving assistance.

Yazeed overtook time of Loeb at 12 ! Looks to be able to beat a PUG!

Now 337 is late.

Because he is probably assisting the 312

Second car may be paying off right here.

That's what I meant by he's late. Figured if he was on time either the tracking on 312 was messed up or he missed 312 on course.
