The Dakar Rally stage by stage.
The 3 will go live on January 2021, 43th Dakar Rally starts in Jeddah. This is the second time that the race is being held in Saudi Arabia. 560 participants will appear at the start, including 109 motorcyclists.
We find one Belgian among the participating motorcyclists. That is Walter Roelants, Joël's father. He will be faced with a route of 7.646 km, of which 4.767 km will be driven as a special stage. Walter will do this on board a Husqvarna. On the Dutch side there is the participation of Olaf Harmsen and Paul Spierings.
In this 2021 edition, the emphasis will be more on navigation and the raw speed will be reduced somewhat. The road book for each stage will only be handed over 15 minutes before the departure of the relevant stage. This year, motorcyclists will be required to wear a so-called airbag vest during the race. Da Dakar ends on Friday January 15 in Jeddah.
