STAGE 4 TRACKING


STAGE 4: SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY > SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY

Connection 201km | Special Stage 418km | Total 619km

COURSE OVERVIEW

Marathon 1: No Mechanics! On many levels, the competitors face their first real test here. The special section takes place at an average of 3,500m altitude, with incessant changes in pace resulting from alternating sandy and rocky terrain. This grueling route will be on the agenda when everyone already has 2,500km in the saddle or bucket seat, which is already exhausting for the lower placed drivers. First and foremost, this is the start of a very particular marathon stage, with a closed area for the vehicles... and for the competitors.


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

RG : +1h of penalty in stage 3.
For stage 4 : RG 10th at finish with : +08:34 and Shledon is 13th at WP10.

1 hour penalty? What for?

No one knows.

The team doesn't even know why

Penalty seems to have been given out for something on Stage 2.

See link below for the stage 2 ranking (pos. 69):

Are we 100% sure there was a 1 hour penalty?
