the day's route - stage 6
YOUR PAPERS, PLEAS
The southern summer has several surprises in store, including negative temperatures which may have to be endured by the motorcyclists who will tackle the long climb to Paso San Francisco in the middle of the night, where they will cross the border at an altitude of more than 4,700 metres. Once the race has arrived in Chile, the special stage will initially be decided on a hard terrain, in the harsh aridity of the Atacama Desert. The drivers will no longer be concerned about controlling their maximum speed when they confront the dunes of Copiapó, which will be featured four times on the route. Skilful driving will be the only solution here to avoid competitors from being bogged down at the bottom of a giant sand basin for a long time. Some of them will not be able to avoid this.
