    I've read on fb that Alessandro Ruoso (World Baja winner this year) had an offer to join the race but maybe too late to manage everything...

    best wishes for your daddy's race, Tony:clap

    I am going to dakar too, but on the straight coast road from Morocco,
    it's just a pity that we'll leave (and hopefully arrive:evil) a few days before the race! But it's my dream journey and all that I can afford :1drink

    Very curious to see how the bike ranking comes out this time as there are several guys with 'all the gear' & experience to compete with Martin and Guillaume. Here a showpic @ the time of loading the bikes. Gwen and Joris on the left, Robert in the middle, Martin Fontyn on the left of him with Mark Blokker who is riding for a special cause on the right.

    All the best to your dad Tony. I am pretty sure with your Nav equipment he will not get lost :D
    Say hello to Guillaume from me, he knows his way around, I hope his wrist injury has healed properly and he does not over do it :deal

    All the best for a safe race people.... I wish I could be there to cheer you all up. Will be following this in my 6th screen (I take all the laptops, desktops and monitors during this period... ) alongside with Dak :freaky

    Go Guillaume!

    Such a nice guy, met him at the Tuareg and I know he takes this race VERY seriously. Will have fingers and toes crossed for his progress.

    Met him in Greece and had a coffee with him and a fair amount of emails going back and forth... He is honestly one of the old figures in rally racing. Mentally I mean... He kept training here and run serres with a nice result.
    I know wrist is ok now and will be following his progress. His and schattat Sr. 's!
