Such a shame about Mads

Ostberg is still at last stage finish. Looks like repairing something

Sat 09:02 - Stage info: SS8
Maria Las Cruces 1, 23.09km Maria Las Cruces runs south to north along the Nahuelbuta mountain range at one of the highest points of the Arauco area. The road is wide for most of the way with plenty of fast bends and jumps before it becomes straighter near the finish. It’s uphill from start to finish and little tree cover means crews can see the challenge ahead. A drivers’ dream!

My analysis:

The stage begins on a quite wide road but turns after a kilometre onto a narrow forest road. It returns later onto the first road and gets quite fast and flowing with a few tighter corners. At 13.6 km there is a crest which could turn into a sideways jump. A chicane like series of tight bends appears at 14.5 km. Towards the end there are some very fast sections in the area where trees are cut down.
