STAGE 5 TRACKING


STAGE 5: SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY > UYUNI

Connection 315km | Special Stage 327km | Total 642km

COURSE OVERVIEW

All round vigilance is required for this second part of the marathon stage: in addition to managing mechanics, particularly the tyres, all the drivers will have to pay attention to their own bodies’ reactions. Entry into Bolivia is also marked by an abrupt increase in altitude, rising to 4,600m –the higher point in Dakar’s story- during the day’s special section. Technically, it is also in this stage that the rally steps up a gear, with the first off-piste sections as well as some navigational gems which might be a headache for some navigators…

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

Seeing RG has not complained about the penalty, then he probably realises he did something wrong.Very Unlike RG to be quiet if he thinks he has been wronged

How do you know he hasn't complained? are you an ASO official in Bolivia?

No, on the Dakar Rally TV feed, RG was always complaining, not this time.
If he really thought he was very wronged he would have made a very official complaint

the day is not over, to early to make a 'statement'
RG has been quiet this whole rally.
Since you're not live in Bolivia or with the ASO, how would you know he hasn't filed a complaint?
You also said SST would never be on live TV in Australia, it happened

No, SST was pre recorded by the same Channel, then shown delayed later.and when he raced on dirt track speedway on a cable network Only recently showed it live. Seeing these penalties, were incurred earlier, RG would have made an Offical complaint.
