Special Stage for LEG 2

DateMonday, January 2, 2012 at 10:05AM

10:30am ARG local time is the start time for the first MOTO of the Special Stage for LEG 2 (DSS on map).

The first moto's LEAVE the bivouac at Santa Rosa on the 400 km transport to the Special stage start control at 05:00 am local ARG time... which 16 minutes from NOW as I write this.

Todays Special Stage is 295 km's long... starts out with 200 k's of hard gravel roads... then a 12 km section of "off piste/off road" (where it lookes like the cars do a 5 km abbreviated route to the other classes - Moto, Quad and Trucks), then finish with about 65 km's of sand... with a distincly larger 10 km section of dunes to negotiate about 30 kilometers from the end of the stage:
