    Well, yet another edition complete. I'll be picking up #2 today from the airport. My dad is staying in Dakar an extra 2 days, visiting a friend he met during the first edition :D

    That looks like an amazing rally!

    Brodo - thanks for the pics. Brings back fond memories seeing the photos of them on the beach at Dakar from when we finished Heroes Legend 2012, I got a pile of fishing wire wrapped round my 690's rear axle after the beach run I did! :eek1

    Did you race with Ben Norman and the Desert Rose crew? Amazing rally as well, although I did hear some nagging about the '12 edition... Waiting to speak to either Guillame or Martin R before committing to this one, but yeah I am a bit jealous of all the riders making their way through all that gorgeous scenery. There's just something about west Africa...

It was cold in Morocco and the sands of Mauritania weren't easy to navigate again this year. Despite all that, the competitors were very strong as two thirds managed to get themselves through all of the problems to finally reach Lac Rose. They all have a mentality that I've rarely seen during my career. According to their commentaries on the podium, I think that we fulfilled our mission and nothing gives me gReater pleasure than when the participants are satisfied. I'd like to thank all the members of the organisation team and all of the contributors who worked very hard. I'd like to say to everyone; see you next year I hope!"[/FONT]

    Short message from Guillaume yesterday:

    it was a great event. Very professional Organisation. Must do this if you can. René Metge is a real professional and the road books are a dream. Nice scenery too.

    ...lots of respect for "our" austrian drivers/actors moretti and bloeb...!!:clap

    [​IMG]

    when i read first about their starting - ithought OMG- a media joke- theyll drive for last place-

    but both finished in top ten-

    and even they had the "full ktm package" i think they did really good...:freaky


    they only thing whats really NOT good that this african race is at same time as "bigbrother" dakar so it gets a little bit lost in the media etc.
