STAGE 1 TRACKING


STAGE 1: ROSARIO > SAN LUIS

Connection 629km | Special Stage 180km | Total 809km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The competitors will wake up early to set off along the road in the region of Cordoba and start the race on some narrow tracks which will require the utmost vigilance. Each one will still be very fresh allowing them to tackle the stony sections or the blind jumps serenely. The competitors’ driving skills will be rewarded at the finish, where they will have already clocked up 800 kilometres. Although the gaps will not be significant at this stage of the race, it is nevertheless important to maintain their position in the part of the standings that they are aiming for!

 


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

That maybe the best news I've heard in the last 30mins or so, but that still doesn's explain why he was so slow on course. Hopefully he is just taking it easy to give everyone else a chance.

Fingers crossed that this is the good news...

This would be great if it's true. The Dutch tracker is all messed up, apparently having a hard time figuring out what position we are in. Even 4 mins down is not good though. I wonder if there was some kind of on-course problem as well ?

@bob. the dutch tracker is fine. it only shows top 15 so you have to select us drivers instead of dutch to see robby and bj

Link?

Me too.

+1
