Africa Eco Race 2014

What is the rough entry cost- I did a quick search and did not find it?

Something around 11-12K€ is what my dad told me for the bare minimum (i.e. malle moto), all in with fuel, flights, etc.

Thanks, I missed that link somehow!

The last selective sector was mainly composed by beautiful dunes and sandy tracks and was a real driving pleasure for the leaders, Jean Louis SCHLESSER, Michael PISANO and Tomas TOMECEK.
Today, Friday 10th of January, the bivouac takes place in St Louis in Senegal, before joining the last stage, tomorrow, on the Atlantic Ocean shore with a mythical arrival at the “Lac Rose”.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]In his SONANGOL buggy this morning, SCHLESSER had in mind only one thing, win the last selective sector of the Rally he already won 6 times in 6 years. The “BOSS” didn’t fail and won on a field his knows by heart. As a result, the duo SCHLESSER – MAGNALDI win with 5’11 in front of Jean Antoine SABATIER and Denis ROZAND. The 3rd place of the day is earned by the St Cyprien crew, Xavier LORMAND and Guillaume JORDA, quite sad this year as they wanted to show more of their racing colors and potential on this event, but because of their mechanical problems, they did not get the chance to reach the podium.[/FONT]

PHOTOS:

Alessio was there and did really nice photography, but no website so far - he's on Facebook though! https://www.facebook.com/disodbediente

Alain worked for the organization: http://captain-nowhere.com/LIVE.html

Thanks for all the updates. Really enjoyed following this one on Eurosport and on here. Absolutely gutted for the Morrocan rider #108 - so close to Dakar.

I am very determinated....

Nic

Anyone know if bikes are allowed in the "Classic" category? I don't see mention of it on their site. I have an old 81 airhead...it would seem fitting to race it to Dakar...

Kind of curious as to why Schlesser wont be running in the rally again in 2015 ?


Been there done that ????????????
Lack of completion ????????????

Maybe he wants another crack at Le Dakar ? - if they'll let him back in of course!

Jx

That crossed my mind to Jen but I didn't think he was into S/A

Pretty much, I believe he's retiring :eek1

Love him or hate him, it's a pretty good picture!

It's a great photo...

THERE... I'm in...

Good luck Martin !!
