The competitors of the 2014 Dakar will experience their first taste of the mountains by passing through the Pre-Andes. The Aconcagua Volcano stands 6,962m high and will observe the progress of the vehicles, of which a part will rehearse their high mountain driving techniques. The motorcyclists will climb up 4,300 metres during their special stage, on a ridgeline where they will have the impression of towering over the whole of America! The descent will bring them back to the tough reality of the drivers of the Dakar, as they will only have finished the first part of this marathon stage. They will have to ensure the mechanics for their own vehicles at the isolated bivouac which has been set up for them.
On tuesday, January 7th, the organizeres decided to cut the lenght of the special stage by about 80 km. The finish of the car/truck special was moved to just after km 222 of the original course, yielding a new stage length of 240 km
The stage was won by Karginov, with de Rooy 2nd. Loprais came home 3rd, Kolomy 4th. Stay tuned……….
