Dakar Rally returns to Saudi Arabia amid pandemic

Paris, Jun 11 (EFE), (Camera: Luis Miguel Pascual).- The Dakar Rally prepares for returning to Saudi Arabia, which will host the competition in 2021 for the second consecutive year.SOUNDBITES OF DAVIS CASTERA, DIRECTOR OF DAKAR RALLY:1. "Last year, the second week was too fast. The first week was good, it was more balanced. We have sought the spirit of the first week, I think it is more interesting for everyone to compete in terms of technique. When it is very fast everyone is going fast. There is more danger and in the end, fewer differences. A more technical route allows to find the man and the machine better than in a faster one. 2. "The permanent variety in the special stages. There will not be a special of dunes and another of stones, in all there will be a little of everything. We will also work a lot on navigation, the participants will not discover the road books until that morning The most complete team will be the one that wins because there will be everything."
