STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: TUCUMAN > SALTA

Connection 270km | Special Stage 424km | Total 694km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

Once they have left Tucuman, the cars will head north and drive along part of the renowned Ruta 40, and continue on in the heart of one of Argentina’s most beautiful landscapes. The possibilities to widen the gap will be limited but the most skilled drivers may be able to seize the opportunity of adding a stage to their list of wins. A new trip to the mountains will take motorcyclists to the banks of the rivers. They will have to remain vigilant until the very end of the stage as the region is frequented to a great extent by animals of all sizes. Then they will finally be able to rest.

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

at least he finished all the stages and he is still the highest USA participant.... This is DAKAR I am just glad he and team are still in it and still glad BJ Baldwin is still in it even though he is further back.... It is not all about winning how many people can even say " Hey, I drove in 6 stages of DAKAR" at least about what 50 cars cannot say that this year alone
