STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: COPIAPO > ANTOFAGASTA

Connection 239km | Special Stage 458km | Total 697km

COURSE OVERVIEW

This is the first of the rare special stages in which all categories will compete. At the start of the race, the most confident drivers will be able to take advantage of the fast tracks to try to move up in the overall standings. But the temptation to do so may be risky, particularly in the hard-to-handle fesh-fesh areas where absolute self-control is the only guarantee of success. Overtaking here requires precision handling to the extreme.

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

Now mor Kudos:
Vladimir Vasilyev is having a great day. With a lead of 3'26 over his nearest pursuer after 370 km of the special, the Russian seems to have all that it takes to pick up his first stage victory. He is leading another driver who would also like a first taste of victory: Yazeed Alrajhi. Off Dakar website

I'm seeing Yazeed 3:04 ahead of him?

Robby was only 1 minute behind the russian when he "deviated". Certainly could see his dust and tracks. Should have followed him i guess. But of course hindsight is easy and it would have been a big risk
