STAGE 1 TRACKING

Connection 566km | Special Stage 222km | Total 788km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

 

Most of the journey will have been made the day before, but the road section to the starting line of the first special stage is still long.Once the competitors have got down to the nitty-gritty, their engines  will start to heat up along a very quick portion.They will need to be  more and more technically proficient on a route that then becomes  mountainous.In order to limit the amount of overtaking on narrow tracks, a special route has been drawn up for bikes and quads in the middle of the stage.
