STAGE 11 TRACKING

STAGE 11: ANTOFAGASTA > EL SALVADOR

Connection 144km | Special Stage 605km | Total 749km

COURSE OVERVIEW

In addition to the distance, here the competitors will be put to the test by all the difficulties offered by the Atacama Desert… and will have to display all the qualities required for off-road races. After the mine tracks and the many rivers to cross, the competitors will have to distinguish themselves in the heart of the Dunes of Copiapo: the fastest motorcyclists are expected to spend seven hours behind the wheel. Needless to say that on this decisive day there will be no shortage of opportunities for competitors to make a winning comeback in the race. This will be the key stage of the 2014 edition.

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

Things to do after Dakar 2014:
Sit, hands to the head, cry, burn down the Gordini and start over (or comeback next year with the sligthly better Hummer from the past Dakar). I admire Robby, but this new HTS is a pain in the ass.

La alternativa incendiar el HST, porque ya me llego al huevo ese huevada de coche, y hacer un nuevo H3 ya que los dos fueron vendidos. el HST fue como si le hubieran puesto una carrocería de VW escarabajo con llantas de camión, como que le hubieran inyectado esteroides a las llantas, no tiene proporcion el cuerpo con las llantas, incendiar el HST. fue peor que el inicio del HUMMER H3

Its a pain only for the fans who have to live the race over the internet. RG has won in everything he has ever done and must realize the HST is way to get there. Gotta have faith brother!
