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.

RRRRRRROOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBYYYYYYYY

You would never see Peter- a..s or Loeb do something cool like for the fans. Pug orders to have a stick up your butt. Robby is the best showman around hands down! That 's why we all love him and what he represents.

I posted this yesterday. Look at the swarm around the 312 -vs- Peterhansel. Try driving a quad by the Gordini. Not gonna happen.

ASO, Take notice. This is the man you're driving out of your show

@Gas, they don't even know who peterpuffer is ...

Think they do

He's a blast for the fans for sure,,,, outspoken for ASO but good for the Dakar's popularity.
