[motorcycle-usa.com] - Dakar Rally 2015 Preview

Ninjette Newsbot · December 29th, 2014, 06:20 PM

One of the most grueling motor races in the world, the Dakar Rally, is set to get underway in less than a week. If you’re not already amped up for the off-road desert race that will take competitors across Argentina, Chile and Bolivia, maybe this video will help.

The first official teaser video to be released by Dakar organizers, it features more than just bikes, but cars, SUVs, quads and trucks as well. Sure they have four wheels, but Dakar is gnarly no matter what vehicle is chosen to tackle it. In total, the 2015 Dakar will cover 5,600 miles, divided into 13 stages. Stage one starts January 4 and covers 520 miles, from Buenos Aires to Villa Carlos Paz. Stay up to date on all the happenings from Dakar at the official Dakar website.

POLISH rider Michal Hernik has been found dead at the Dakar Rally, organisers have announced.

The 39-year-old who was racing on a KTM 450 Rally Replica was found 300m from the course during the third stage of the infamous rally yesterday, which runs a 410-mile route from San Juan to Chilecito in Argentina.

According to organisers the cause of death is still unknown.

A statement released from officials said: ‘When the race management detected the loss of his Irritrack signal and was informed that he had not completed the special stage at 3.16pm (local time), it decided to start a search for the rider at 3.23.’

‘An ambulance helicopter found the rider 300m off the route at 4.03. Unfortunately, the on-board doctor could only confirm the rider’s death. The whole Dakar family offers its condolences to Michal’s family, close friends and team.'

From all at Visordown, we send our sincere condolences to Hernik's family and friends.

Watched Stage 12 a few minutes ago; looks like it's all about wrapped up prior to the final stage tomorrow, for at least the main bike and car classes. 57% of entrants in all classes are still in it.

This was from a couple days ago. Only minor bumps and bruises, believe it or not:
