STAGE 9 TRACKING


STAGE 9: BELEN > BELEN

Connection 111km | Special Stage 285km | Total 396km

COURSE OVERVIEW

This loop stage will not really be one for motorbikes and quad bikes, which will finish the first part of this second marathon stage in an isolated bivouac. Prior to this they will have spent the day, alongside the drivers in the other categories, almost entirely off-piste, both in the vegetation-scattered dunes and on harder terrains, sometimes on river beds. Physically, the day might prove to be a significant challenge, as the mercury soars. The hardiest drivers will also be those who are the most clear headed, able to make the right navigational choices, a major challenge of this special section.


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

RG thru -8:
14th

wp2 dident work for bikes wp3 about 2h

from start

Good morning. Here is to a good day of racing.

Nassar to the front at CP1, Cyril still the 1st pug and running 5th

Sheldon/Jonah are rolling off 76th this morning watch at 5:56pt

they missed their start time

oh no

their off, 6:00am pt

minus some body work

Poulter 2nd by 30sec in Toyota, that Lexus V8 is now breathing, De Villiers still playing the old conservative game, I expected RG to be a lot quicker should gain same power as the Toyotas?

I guess if they are late at this point not a big deal. Better to have everything done

Hope Sheldon has an uneventful day,so to speak.

RG through CP1, +8:21, 15th for now
