STAGE 7 TRACKING


STAGE 7: SALTA > SALTA

Connection 230km | Special Stage 533km | Total 763km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

This mega loop with a 500-km long special stage on the agenda will test the teams’ ability to adapt to changes of pace. After stony terrains at the beginning of the day, some top speeds will be recorded in the second part of the stage, and then the drivers’ road techniques will be tested, and all of this at an average altitude of almost 3,500m. To end this highly emotional day, they will have to cross a vast salt flat extending over twenty or so kilometres: a straight stretch which will make the competitors’ heads spin.


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

still nobody into wp 10 hmmm

Bikes - Laia move up another stage position to 10th and just 6 min behind leader Coma thru wp9.

She's still in same position - Barreda Bort not showing up on tracking but leading the stage.

Tnx

Robby not doing so good but BJ Baldwin is tearing it up, he is just picking up the pace like crazy.....good for him, he has had lousy Dakar so far!

10 is about where the salt flats are locals where protesting the rally on the flats maybe they've stopped the rally.

They are holding the signs - "We don't believe in Dakar"

That's a possibility. Dakar will call it "safety reasons" if it's true.

De Villiers at WP11

Pretty good to gain 11 min on the whole field since WP9.
I would say the tracker needs to be worked on before next year.

But then again it gives ASO the option to set times as they see fit.

Pete and alibaba on wp12
