Dakar Series - Desafio Litoral

[Deadly99]

If there was a prize for worst luckthen Chaleco would be receiving it. The guy just can't seem to hold it together for an entire rally. Crashes and mechanicals seem to be haunting him.

I was hoping the relative stability and reliability of the KTM would allow him to pull off a relatively trouble free rally. I guess that idea was shot to shit.

Chaleco López (Abandonó cuando venía 2° en MOTOS): “Ha sido un mal día, me da rabia porque iba perfecto sobre la moto, muy rápido y además ganando la etapa. En este deporte debes estar bien tú y la moto, hoy me falló el motor y no pude hacer nada. Tengo que quedarme con las cosas positivas, alcancé a ganar una etapa, fui tercero en otra y en la última estaba adelante, iba puntero. Qué más puedo decir, me sentía fuerte para pelear la carrera”.

Lol Troy, you know its easy for me to slag of the big guys in support of the little ones :) at least his dnf on the aprilia weren't engine related :)

With so many KTM 450's there is bound to be at least one to blow Feel sorry for Chaleco though

Is it confirmed the engine died, or a mousse that let go?


But I know what you mean... when you got the most horses in the race, one is bound to fall at some stage or other, due to some form of ailment... It's a numbers game.

The "bad luck monkey" sure seems to be riding around on chaleco's shoulders the last 18 months or so...

I think a bad mousse would see him finish, remember the pirelli fiasco and bare rims in Dakar, so my guess and poor spanish is still with the engine part. But he has had a tough year.. He's with a well funded team now, so we can expect a return to form id say.

Will be rooting for the TM mounted boys this year, lets hope and see

Ps. Just placed an order for the new Beta 2Stroke enduro, so i might change allegence if i get delivery before the dakar
