STAGE 6 TRACKING


STAGE 6: UYUNI > UYUNI

Connection 181km | Special Stage 542km | Total 723km

COURSE OVERVIEW

The longest special section of the Dakar takes place on the 6th day of consecutive racing. And that is not the only difficulty of this operation, which will take place between 3,500 and 4,200m in altitude. The pace and surfaces change constantly, alternating between sand and rock, which may be disconcerting, especially if it rains. Glimpses of the Salar d’Uyuni are but one of the visual delights on the agenda. Meanwhile, the truck category, which will race separately on this 6th stage, will visit the home town of the President Evo Morales.


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

Looks rough today.
Several bikes crashed so far reading live comments.

The Toyota trucks and Minis seem to be pretty evenly matched in the second tier.

RG down 4:37 at wp2

Creed down 3:39 at wp1 :37 behind RG

RG down 4:52 at wp3

Yazeed will push RG back to 10th, still 8th on course

Sheldon, on the other hand is passing cars on course, Jonah finger must be glue'd to the sentinel button

Not that any of the so called sportsman listen to it! ie. Roma

Creed is more impressive every day. He has reeled in three competitors through WP1. Go Sheldon!
