STAGE 9 TRACKING


STAGE 9: CALAMA > IQUIQUE

Connection 29km | Special Stage 422km | Total 451km

 

COURSE OVERVIEW

The 2014 Dakar will reach its most northern point in Iquique, where the competitors will see the ocean for the first time this year. Above all, the drivers and teams will discover the Atacama Dunes again after a first part of a special stage which will be rather tedious. Dune specialists will be in command over a distance of almost 150km. Thrills will be guaranteed at the very end of the day, on the last three kilometres of the descent to Iquique: there is more than a 30% difference in height from start to finish and it is almost not recommended to break. The law of gravitation takes on its full meaning: the bivouac is not far away!

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

It's the opposite they have been doing to BJ. They've been adding 1hr at each wp but quickly adjust.

Spanish driver Carlos Sainz’s SMG buggy has come to a standstill after 195 km and is signalling technical problems. The chassis appears to be the root of the problem and the crew is pessimistic about their chances of resuming racing.

Sainz continues with problems, and is likely to avandone career, so would any self to girl winner and Giniel and Gordon would make them fight for the podium men see a car.
