STAGE 12 TRACKING


STAGE 12: Arequipa > Nasca

Connection 412km | Special Stage 245km | Total 657km


COURSE OVERVIEW

Only a flight over the region can allow the Nazca Lines, mysterious motifs created in the ground more than 2,000 years ago, to be admired. The route of the special stage creates another line on the map of Peru which looks like a sand dragon. Although the areas of dunes are evenly spread out, the competitors will definitely remember one of them, which made a deep impression on the reconnaissance team. The dunes follow one after another continuously for almost twenty kilometres, transporting the drivers to a new dimension. As the sand will remain firm in this string of dunes, it will help the drivers to cross them without too much difficulty. But the most skilled dune-crossers will nevertheless be able to create a surprise, in particular three days before the final finish. Those who remember how to perform the "Mauritanian swerve" can save some precious minutes.

Do the people that said " Show respect to Peter-------- " still hold that value today?

to the question does Peterand Nasser deserve respect, the answer is yes. If Robby does get teh boot for an illegal part, yes that is cheating.

Call it what it is

Peterhandle had a choice in that water crossing. He made the choice to take out a rider pushing his bike. NO respect for that ass hole. Robbys equipment passed there pre race tech, in now way can a non CFM pump supply enough "air" to increase HP. not cheating. What race are you watching?

50km of flat sand in the early portion of the stage. What is the expectation for Robby vs the Mini's in that part alone?
