In fact, Thursday was supposed to be the longest stage: 511 km, but the organizers shortened it by 63 km.
In addition, another 70km will be subtracted from two neutralization sections, so the participants will have to travel less than 400 kilometers of combat on Thursday.
Runners will be greeted by sand dunes, whose participants have not seen for several days. They will extend this stretch of speed by more than a hundred kilometers.
This stage is basically the last difficult step of the rally. On Friday, in the final stage, the participants will have just 225 km of formal speed to the finish line.
On Thursday, the start is only 2 km from the bivouac, after the finish, 134 km to the bivouac in Yanbu.
“It starts fast, with gravel roads and narrow canyons, then a neutralization stretch. After him, again fast sectors in the valleys, there will be some sand, winding gravel with stones. There is an urgent need to adapt to changing conditions. Later, a second section of neutralization, after which we jumped into the dunes for the last time. There is a warning that you need to drive carefully here, there may be rocks in the dunes.
The dunes themselves, maybe 50 km. In the end, off-road with canyons, rocky gravel, the exact work of the boaters will be important here. It ends – again in the Red Sea “, – Kreda’s co-driver Darius Vaičiulis spoke about the speed section.
