A 31.4 km heartland around the Tafeguenat djebel: that's today's proposition for this fifth stage of the 38th MARATHON DES SABLES LEGENDARY. Stony plateaux, dry wadis, djebels, dunes and dunes, all with little change in altitude: it's a very varied stage, fairly easy to ride, but a trap for those who don't take it seriously.
