Day 9 - Stage 8 (2020x9)

Fecha de emisión: Ene 15, 2020

JANUARY 15th 2020: STAGE 8 AIDZIDINE / TIDJIKJA: 450,83 km Transfer: 3,05 km SS: Aidzidine / Tidjikja: 429,01 km Liaison: Tidjikja / Bivouac: 18,77 km This selective sector will include two motorcycle refueling, the first of after 70 km. The reason is that the middle of the stage is difficult of access for KERO trucks. The start of this very nice leg is completely new with sand tracks until the Tifoujar pass, then with a very stony plateau, not too fast, until the village of Maaden. Then comes the descent into the white valley with at the end, a relatively difficult passage of dunes. The track will then evolve through various wadis towards the pass of Elnouk. From there on, it will be a portion never used by the Rally before, partly off-track across magnificent landscapes. A beautiful dune crossing located just off the service road may interest journalists after CP3. Until the end, it will be relatively rolling but navigation will be very difficult due to the absence of tracks since no one ever evolves in this sector.
