After a rather good day yesterday, the McRae’s are heading for stage 10 today. Stage 10 runs from La Serena to Santiago and has a total of 586 kilometers. Saying goodbye to the Atacama desert, there will be a 238 kilometer special, with a very technical course.

Starting times have yet be announced.

Dakar.com says:

586 km are on the menu for the 10th stage of the 32nd Dakar, including a timed section of 238 kilometres in which the competitors will bid farewell to the Atacama and say hello to a more technical, bending and undulating route that winds through the fine landscapes of the mountains. It will be a tricky special, where competitors must be especially careful of the vegetation and in particular the many cactuses dotted over the route.
